Bispectrum Property Analysis of High Resolution Real Sea Clutter
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper mainly investigates the bispectrum property of sea clutter. For non-Gaussian sea clutter, bispectrum can reveal its property from higher-order probability structures, which is complementary to current second-order theory based research. Bispectrum estimation of sea clutter is accomplished by using the FFT-based method with a frequency-domain Rao-Gabr window. Analysis results show that pronounced peaks exist in the diagonal slice spectra, revealing the quadratic-phase coupling phenomenon in sea clutter spectra. Besides, bispectrum features such as peak location or distribution regions differ between sea clutter and target bins, showing its potential in the design of target detection algorithms.

Effect of Curved Path Monopulse Radar Platform’s Grazing Angle on Height of Floated Targets Detection
Monopulse radarsare one of the most accurate tracking radars used to guide various platforms. Detection and tracking of surface targets with these radars are performed in order to point strike targets. Sea clutter presents challenges for detecting floated targets and in addition to affecting detection height, it can cause errors in monopulse angle finding. In this paper, the airborne monopulse ...
متن کاملHigh Grazing Angle and High Resolution Sea Clutter: Correlation
Spatial and temporal correlations of high grazing angle high resolution sea clutter collected by the DSTO Ingara polarimetric X-band system are studied. It seems that wavelengths of wind waves and swells are retrievable from the range correlation whereas the periods of the waves and swells are recoverable from the azimuthal correlation. The polarimetric behaviour of sea clutter is also studied,...

The monitoring of maritime areas with remote sensing is essential for security reasons and also for the conservation of environment. The synthetic aperture radar (SAR) can play an important role in this matter by considering the possibility of acquiring high-resolution images at nighttime and under cloud cover. Recently, the new approaches based on the sub-look analysis for preserving the infor...
متن کاملAdvanced Sea Clutter Models and their Usefulness for Target Detection
Robust naval target detection is of significant importance to national security, to navigation safety, and to environmental monitoring. Here we consider the particular case of high resolution coastal radars, working at low grazing angles. The robustness of detection heavily relies on the appropriate knowledge of two classes of backscattered signals: the target echo, and the sea echo. The latter...
متن کاملNonlinear processing of high resolution radar sea clutter
Surveillance radars used at sea need to suppress the signal received back from the sea surface, in order to improve the probability of detecting target signals. This paper investigates whether nonlinear predictor networks can be used to improve the suppression of sea clutter, and thus to improve the performance of maritime surveillance radar detectors.
