摘要
Detection and extraction of unknown signal in noise may be important in radar When an unknown signal of a transient nature is received, representation in terms of basis functions, localized in both time and frequency, such as Gabor representation, may be very useful for signal detection. By using time-frequency decomposition, noise energy tends to spread across entire time-frequency domain, while signal energy often concentrates within a small region with a limited time interval and frequency band. Signal recognition in the time-frequency domain becomes easier than that in either time or frequency domain. By setting a CFAR threshold for and examining time-frequency Gabor coefficients which exceed the threshold, presence of a signal may be determined. CFAR time- frequency processing for detection and extraction of signals in noise improves detection and extraction performance for low Signal-to- noise- ratio (SNR) signals. Due to low SNR, it may be very difficult to identify signals from within either the time or the frequency domain alone. However, in the time-frequency domain, the signal can be easily recognized and its time location and instantaneous frequency can be measured. By performing CFAR thresholding and taking inverse Gabor transform, an unknown signal embedded in noise may be detected and reconstructed with enhanced quality.
