The performance <strong>of</strong> the frequency monitor system (FMS) <strong>of</strong> high frequency (HF) radar is<br />

degraded by signal corruption due to impulsive interferences such as lightning <strong>and</strong> meteor<br />

echoes. These interferers raise the FMS spectrum noise level, as a result, FMS can’t pick out<br />

the real minimum disturbance frequency for HF radar. It is desirable to extract the impulsive<br />

interference components from the FMS data without removing any other information.<br />

However, Current wavelet detecting impulsive interference techniques, not matching<br />

impulsive interference very well, always lead to non-impulsive interference components<br />

degraded <strong>and</strong> lost. In this paper, we construct a more suitable impulsive interference detection<br />

method, by using the Morlet wavelet, matching well the shape <strong>of</strong> the impulsive interference<br />

signal, decomposition algorithm <strong>and</strong> maximum likelihood estimation thresholding rule,<br />

specifically designed to detect impulsive interference, so as to less disruption to the nonimpulsive<br />

interference information when extracting the impulsive interference. The<br />

effectiveness <strong>of</strong> the proposed technique has been proved by both simulated <strong>and</strong> practical<br />

experiments.<br />
