Abstract:This paper investigated a single-channel radar coherent interference suppression method based on blind source separation. For companion interference scenarios, under the coexistence of active coherent interference (such as interrupted sampling and repeater jamming and partial dense false target interference), an anti-main-lobe active interference model based on multiple pulse compression was established with feasibility demonstration. Considering that most existing single-channel blind source separation methods are operated in the time domain with limited separation effectiveness, the idea of utilizing distance-domain pulse compression data for blind source separation was proposed, which can suppress the influence of noise on blind source separation to a certain extent. At the same time, the target signal and the interfering signal have a low degree of coincidence in the distance dimension, which can achieve a better separation performance. The simulation and measured data results have shown that the proposed method has a significant suppression performance against multiple active interferences, and when SNR is greater than 5 dB, the target pulse pressure echo similarity coefficient is close to 100%. Moreover, the increase of virtual channels would improve the performance of the method.
