Signal processing in recursive rejection lters in the transient mode

A recursive rejection lter (REF) oriented to the radar signal extraction from the moving targets on a background of passive interference in the form of undesired re ections from xed or slowly moving objects (so-called clutter) is the object under investigation. By means of the state variable method, which gives the adequate lter description in the time domain, the REF structure in the transient mode is synthesized, which is improved with the aim of transient acceleration with the clutter edge arriving. The REF structure's improvement in the transient mode is achieved by its recon guration, which is made by REF output and feedback switching. The steady-state values of decorrelated rejection residues from the nonrecursive REF part are passed to the REF output and to feedback circuits, which practically eliminates a ring" in the feedback circuits, which is caused by the mean value and uctuations of the clutter samples, and signi cantly accelerates the transient at the REF output. The structure diagram of the recon gurable RF in the transient mode by means of recursive couplings switching is offered. A solution of transient acceleration problems for recursive REFs allows substantive utilization of required characteristics of REFs and theirexible control. A comparative analysis of clutter REF rejection effectiveness of xed and recon gurable structures is performed in the transient mode. It is shown that REF structure recon guration by means of recursive coupling switching essentially reduces the transient duration in the lter and increases the clutter rejection effectiveness in the transient operation mode.
