The suppression of mainlobe jamming (MLJ) is a hard task and an open problem in the radar field
and it brings a big challenge for radar target detection
tracking
and identification.Hence
we propose a same dimension sparse estimation method for radar target parameter in MLJ.The proposed method can effectively suppress the MLJ and simultaneously estimate the target range and angle.Precisely
the block matrix preprocessing (BMP) algorithm is adopted to suppress the MLJ
and the target angle information can be hold on.Then the target range is estimated effectively through the beamforming and pulse compression.According to the target range estimation result
the preprocessed data should be intercepted as training samples for the target angle estimation.The proposed method can be applied for linear array and planar array.It is worth pointing out that the proposed method can effectively estimate the target azimuth and elevation simultaneously when the target azimuth (or elevation) equals to the jamming azimuth (or elevation).
