Abstract
The problem addressed here is non-stationary interference suppression in noise radar systems. Towards this aim, two linear time–frequency (TF) transforms, short-time Fourier transform and local polynomial Fourier transform are used as a means of signal representation and filtering. The noise radar return signal is a wideband random signal occupying the whole TF plane, whereas the interference signal is well concentrated in the TF plane. This implies that the filtering of the received signal can be performed by using a binary mask to excise only a portion of the TF plane corrupted by the interference. Simulations carried out on the radar return signal corrupted by extremely strong non-stationary interferences confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.Keywords
