- Abstract
The main‐lobe jamming causes serious degradation of radar system performance in practical applications. In recent years, the Blind Source Separation (BSS) method has been applied to suppress the main‐lobe jamming. However, the received echoes of target and jamming cannot be effectively identified while the robustness of the conventional BSS method is poor due to the influence of system noise. To tackle these problems, a radar main‐lobe jamming suppression and identification method is proposed based on robust whitening BSS and Convolutional Neural Networks methods. First, the target echoes and jamming are separated by the proposed robust whitening BSS method. An iterative optimisation method is proposed to obtain the robust whitening matrix, and sufficient conditions are provided for solvability. Then, a Target echo and Jamming Identification Network (TJINet) is proposed to identify the signals after the robust whitening BSS. The proposed TJINet method uses residual blocks and branch structures to improve classification performance and utilises asymmetric convolution blocks to extract subtle features between the target echo and deceptive jamming. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed method has better jamming suppression performance than the traditional methods under low signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) conditions, the algorithm converges faster, and also can stably identify the target echo and jamming signals.
