Abstract:

The strong false target interference formed by the corner reflector poses a serious challenge to the target identification of the anti-ship missile radar seeker. In order to improve the radar seeker's ability of anti diluted corner reflector jamming, an identification method of corner reflector based on multi-feature fusion of polarization and high resolution range profile (HRRP) is proposed. Firstly, combining the experimental data in three scenarios, the target echo signals of radar seeker are extracted from the sea clutter. Secondly, five range profile features, such as peak number and radial dimension, and three polarization features, such as mean of polarization coherence, are analyzed from the corner reflector and ship echoes. The processing results of the experimental data show that the feature difference is obvious between the ship and the single corner reflector, while the difference decreases between the ship and the array. Then, using the support vector machine (SVM) method, five tests are designed based on the experimental data, and the discrimination performance of single-feature and multi-feature fusion is examined respectively. The test results show that the single-feature identification method is not stable, while the proposed three-feature fusion identification method is more robust, and the identification accuracy reaches more than 92.86% in five tests.
