Abstract

The Direct path and multipath interference (DPI and MPI) Cancellation is a crucial issue in the passive radar. In this paper, two improvements have been done in NLMS algorithm. One is to estimate the values and distribution of DPI and MPI roughly, and then remove them from the echo signal before filtering. The other one is to vary the step size of NLMS according to the cross correlation function of the reference signal and the output signal of the adaptive filter. The performance of the improved algorithm in passive radar DPI and MPI Cancellation is reported. The computer simulation results show that the algorithm has a faster convergence rate and a smaller steady state error.
