The Development of Iteration Method for Optimization of Pair "Signal-filter"

This paper is devoted to the improvement of the working methods of the "signal-filter" pair using an iterative procedure to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio, namely, to highlight the useful signals to provide information about the environment during the adaptive radar sensing in the conditions of obstacles. An algorithm for determining the optimal filter for suppressing undesired side lobes is proposed, which allows improving the process of detection and identification the target objects. Qualitative characteristics and the stages of space-time signal processing in the radar were justified under correlation conditions (ССF) between the received and expected signals. The using of probing radar signals, shortened in their duration were proposed in order to reduce the power of reflections from the underlying surface and increase the contrast of the radar image. A simulation test of the developed methodology was carried out in order to confirm the reliability of the proposed algebraic expressions using a mathematical model implemented in the Matlab programming environment, and a conclusion is drawn about the practical quality of the technical solutions developed on the basis of the iteration method
