  • Patent number: 4573052
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for reducing the power of active jamming signals received by the sidelobes of a radar antenna. A known method includes providing a radar with a main antenna and N auxiliary antennas, each antenna being associated with a corresponding processing channel. The signals received by the N antennas are each given a weighting coefficient corresponding to jamming on that channel. The N signals are then combined to form a weighted linear combination which is subtracted from the main channel signal to provide a signal with reduced jamming. The present invention provides apparatus and method for reducing clutter signals (such as fixed echoes and thermal noise) from each of the signals received in the N channels, thus producing very accurate weighting coefficients thereby allowing jamming power to be further reduced.
