Sea clutter suppression is critical in the detection of low-velocity targets using a passive bistatic radar. The residual sea clutter may become high when the normalized least-mean-square (NLMS) algorithm with a small step size is used for this purpose. While a large step size can be used to reduce the residual sea clutter, it yields a widened filter notch, and thereby, causes significant target signal energy loss. A multi-channel NLMS algorithm is proposed to solve this problem, and its effectiveness is verified by simulation and real radar data analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
