Angle measurement for meter-wave radar based on mainlobe multipath jamming suppression

When detecting low-attitude targets, the angular accuracy of the meter-wave radar will descend because of the multipath reflecting from ground. Since the multipath signal can be regarded as a multipath jamming coming from the mainlobe, we propose an angle measurement based on the mainlobe multipath jamming suppression. The weight of the new approach is obtained through certain constraints on the sum-difference beams, which can suppress the jamming and keep the curve of the monopulse ratio unchanged. Then form sum-difference beams and calculate the ratio of the monopulse ratio of the target. Finally, obtain the angle of the target through the determination of the smallest difference between the monopulse ratio of the target and the quiescent monopulse ratio. The method proposed in this paper can preserve good precision of the measurement angle. The result is verified by computer simulation.
