Abstract

Abstract

Due to the non-uniform ground clutter in the forward array of airborne weather radar, it is difficult to obtain enough independent and equally distributed samples, which affects the accurate estimation of clutter covariance matrix and wind speed estimation. In this paper, a novel estimation method of low altitude wind shear speed based on convolutional neural network STAP is proposed, which can realize high resolution clutter space-time spectrum estimation with a small number of samples. First, the high-resolution clutter space-time spectrum convolutional neural network is trained based on the convolutional neural network model, and then the clutter covariance matrix is calculated, and then the optimal weight vector of the convolutional neural network STAP is calculated for clutter suppression, so as to accurately estimate the wind shear speed at low altitude. In this paper, the sparse recovery problem is realized by convolutional neural network in the case of small samples, and the space-time spectrum of high-resolution clutter is effectively estimated. The simulation results show that the proposed method can effectively estimate the space-time spectrum and complete the wind speed estimation.
