Abstract

This paper proposes a new structure of lattice predictors, which applies to a stagger-period sequence. To deal with the sequence’s time-varying periods, the stagger-period lattice predictor has a linear time-variant processing structure, whose reflection coefficients and delay units need to match the input sequence periods for optimality. The staggered lattice predictor’s operation is relatively complex, of ∑M forward and backward reflection coefficients, M its order; and a uniform-period lattice predictor consists of M forward and backward coefficients. Based on Burg’s uniform-period lattice algorithm, we propose the staggered Forward and Backward Error Minimum algorithm to determine this predictor’s reflection coefficients and prove its optimality in the sense of minimum mean square error. By means of staggered forward and backward transversal predictors, we also propose the staggered Levinson-Durbin relations and prove it holds in the Appendix; these relations play an important role in researching the staggered lattice predictor. For practical application, we present a corresponding reflection coefficient estimation, the staggered Arithmetic Mean method, which substitutes for the ensemble mean with the limited-sample mean, and minimizes the estimate’s variance in the least square error sense. Through many computer simulations, we investigate convergence performance and learning characteristic of this type of predictor with three observation goals: the reflection coefficient, prediction error, and frequency response; the investigations reveal relationships between the convergence performance, learning characteristic and the balance factor, length of averaging window. In order to apply the staggered lattice predictor to an actual field, we illustrate a moving target indicator for Doppler radar with a stagger-period pulse emission and pulse compression waveform technology. Our simulation tests demonstrate that the staggered block lattice filter with essential artificial intelligence (AI) can efficiently detect weak targets submerged in the stationary and nonstationary clutters. The AI includes five heuristic strategies based on radar professionals’ knowledge to preserve targets and reject false alarms.
