Abstract:

When millimeter wave linear frequency modulated continuous wave (LFMCW) radar detects low-altitude wind-shear, it is severely interfered by ground clutter signals, and the wind velocity estimation is ambiguous. In response to this problem, this paper proposes a low-altitude wind-shear velocity ambiguity resolution method based on compressed sensing in the background of strong clutter. According to the non-uniform undersampling characteristics of radar echo in multi frequency and pulse group stagger mode, the unambiguous redundant dictionary (sensing matrix) is constructed in the angle Doppler domain. Then, the main components of clutter spectrum are extracted by compressed sensing technology, the clutter energy support area is estimated, and the clutter suppression matrix is established. Then the clutter suppression based on the weighted minimum l1 norm optimization model is implemented, the unambiguous sparse vector of the low-altitude wind-shear is restored in the angle Doppler domain and the unambiguous Doppler information of the wind field is obtained. The accurate velocity is finally obtained.

Key words: millimeter wave linear frequency modulated continuous wave (LFMCW) radar, compressed sensing, strong clutter, low-altitude wind-shear, velocity ambiguity resolution
