Adaptive signal processing techniques for clutter removal in radar-based navigation systems Yanfeng Liang Wenwu Wang Jonathon Chambers 2134/6516 https://repository.lboro.ac.uk/articles/conference_contribution/Adaptive_signal_processing_techniques_for_clutter_removal_in_radar-based_navigation_systems/9553271 The problem of background clutter remains as a major challenge in radar-based navigation, particularly due to its time-varying statistical properties. Adaptive solutions for clutter removal are therefore sought which meet the demanding convergence and accuracy requirements of the navigation application. In this paper, a new structure which combines blind source separation (BSS) and adaptive interference cancellation (AIC) is proposed to solve the problem more accurately without prior statistical knowledge of the sea clutter. The new algorithms are confirmed to outperform previously proposed adaptive schemes for such processing through simulation studies. 2010-07-19 13:59:23 Adaptive interference cancellation Adaptive signal processing Blind source separation Sea clutter removal Mechanical Engineering not elsewhere classified
