METHOD OF PREVENTING FALSE DETECTIONS IN SENSORS

摘要

Described herein is a method of preventing false detections in sensors pulse-Doppler radar mounted on a moving platform. The method comprises filtering each received burst using Doppler filtering to split each received burst into at least a fast channel and one or more slow channels. The slow channel outputs are then used to derive compensation values for the fast channel. In particular, a zero Doppler slow channel is used to derive predicted surface clutter residue information, and a near zero Doppler slow channel is used to derive additional false alarm control attenuation information. Both the predicted surface clutter residue and the false alarm control attenuation information is used to apply compensation to the fast channel and a comparison is done to select the lower of the two values to generate an output signal.
