Abstract:

When the airborne weather radar detects low-altitude wind shear under the background of sea clutter, the sea clutter signal will cover the low-altitude wind shear signal, making it impossible to accurately estimate the wind speed. In view of the above problems, a low-altitude wind shear wind speed estimation method is proposed based on multi-beam multi-cascade (MBMC) under the background of sea clutter. Firstly, This method uses the space-time interpolation algorithm to correct the distance dependence of the airborne forward-looking sea clutter, and then cascades the Doppler filter to the output of the adjacent multi-beam in the spatial domain joint sliding three times in the time domain, constructing a dimensionality reduction matrix, performing joint adaptive processing in space and time domains, and finally constructing a cost function to estimate the wind field velocity. The simulation results show that the proposed method can accurately estimate the wind speed under the background of sea clutter, and has good robustness.
