“…Due to its capabilities of low-cost operation and covert surveillance, PBR has attracted considerable and increasing interests in recent years. Because the sidelobes of the ambiguity function of PBR usually have a time-varying structure and exist at a level not greatly lower than that of the peak [2,3,4,5], this can lead to: 1) The direct signal interference (DSI), which is received by the sidelobe of the surveillance antenna and significantly stronger than the clutter echo, masks target echo signals, 2) The strong clutter echoes masks target echo signals. In particular, when sea-surface targets are detected, the spread Doppler spectrum of sea clutter makes the task of detecting low-velocity targets a very challenging problem [6,7].…”
