In high frequency surface wave radars, the detection capability is limited by the first-order sea clutter spikes. The energy, location, and Doppler frequency of first-order sea clutter depend on the sea states, which is difficult to model using a fixed expression to eliminate sea clutter. Based on the characteristics of first-order sea clutter, the paper proposed a two-stage detector to eliminate sea clutter. The approach shows the capability to eliminate uncertain first-order sea clutter and detect targets in the vicinities of sea clutter in the Range – Doppler map.
