Abstract: An under-dense meteor trail interference suppression algorithm is proposed to solve the problem of that under-dense meteor trail interference severely affects the target detection performance of over-the-horizon radar (OTHR).The dyadic wavelet transform (DWT) algorithm is utilized to calculate the position of meteor trail interference, and Hankel tensor of three orders is constructed by the data of meteor trail interference. Then the noise component of tensor is refrained and the parameter of meteor trail interference is resolved by higher order orthogonal iteration(HOOI)algorithm and total least squares (TLS) algorithm, thus attaining the echo data of meteor trail interference in time domain. The meteor trail interference is subtracted from echo data to obtain the echo data after the meteor trail interference is refrained. Compared with existing meteor trail interference suppression methods, the proposed method could improve signal-to-clutter and noise ratio (SCNR) of target.
