The invention provides a
broadband polarization
radar target detection method based on Stokes
vector decomposition, and the method comprises the steps: carrying out the Stokes
decomposition of dual-polarization
radar echo data obtained from a
radar system, and obtaining a component sequence; according to a preset
detection threshold, detecting the component sequence by using a multi-channel detection
algorithm based on sequence statistics to obtain a detection result; and fusing the detection results to obtain a final detection result after fusion. According to the invention, the
signal-to-
clutter ratio of the target is increased by using the difference between the polarization characteristics of the target and the
clutter, and the target is detected by combining and using the multi-channel detection
algorithm which is high in target energy accumulation efficiency and based on the sequence statistics, so that the target detection probability of the
broadband polarization
system radar is improved,
engineering implementation is easy, the method is applied to a radar
system, and accurate detection of the radar on the target is facilitated.
