Abstract :
A novel target tracking method in glint noise environment of millimeter wave monopulse radar is proposed. Firstly, the right frequency span of transmit pulse is selected to reduce the correlation of echo pulses. Secondly, the amplitude weighting method is applied to each angular measure result of multi frequency agility pulses. And then the state estimate was implemented using nonlinear non-Gaussian mixture kalman filter. This method has been simulated based on a MMW digital sum/difference monopulse linear array system model. The simulation result shows the method can constrain glint effectively and tracking target precisely.
