Abstract

Increased use of low probability of intercept (LPI) waveforms in current radar systems, enforces the use of sophisticated hardware and signal processing algorithms in intercept receiver technology. In this study, an adaptive filtering technique based on elliptic Gaussian filter is proposed to be used by intercept receivers. The filter is implemented on Wigner-Ville Distribution (WVD) images of different intercepted LPI radar waveforms to de-noise the image in order to help the Electronic Support operators in the signal analysis effort. The slope of the LFM waveforms, thus the filter's, can be determined by using Hough Transform, Radon Transform or any other method.
