Access to the electromagnetic spectrum is an ever-growing challenge for radar. Future radar will be required to mitigate RF interference from other RF sources, relocate to new frequency bands while maintaining quality of service, and share frequency bands with other RF systems. The spectrum sensing, multioptimization (SS-MO) technique was recently investigated as a possible solution to these challenges. Prior results have indicated significant improvement in the signal-to-interference plus noise ratio at the cost of a high computational complexity. However, the optimization computational cost must be manageable in real time to address the dynamically changing spectral environment. In this paper, a bioinspired filtering technique is investigated to reduce the computational complexity of SS-MO. The proposed technique is analogous to the processing of the thalamus in the human brain in that the number of samples input to SS-MO is significantly decreased, thus, resulting in a reduction in computational complexity. The performance and computational complexity of SS-MO and the proposed technique are investigated. Both techniques are used to process a variety of measured spectral data. The results indicate a significant decrease in computational complexity for the proposed approach while maintaining performance of the SS-MO technique.
