In passive radar systems, the utilized signals are typically not designed for radar purposes, resulting in high ambiguity floors. These ambiguity floors, compounded by strong direct-path and multipath clutter, often obscure weak targets. To enhance the signal-to-clutter ratio (SCR), clutter suppression algorithms are essential. The Extensive Cancellation Algorithm (ECA) and its variants are widely used for this purpose by projecting received signals onto the subspace orthogonal to clutter. However, ECA suffers from high computational cost as clutter space dimensionality increases. Segmented versions like ECA-Batches (ECA-B) and Generalized Subband Cancellation (GSC) reduce complexity by broadening the suppression notch in one domain on the range-Doppler (RD) map, but remain limited when addressing large-area clutter. In this paper, we propose ECA-Batches and Subbands (ECA-BS), which performs segmentation in both time and frequency domains. This dual-domain strategy simultaneously broadens the suppression notch in both delay and Doppler dimensions, significantly reducing the clutter space. Simulation experiments verify that ECA-BS achieves clutter suppression performance comparable to existing segmented methods while significantly reducing computational complexity. Its effectiveness is further confirmed by real-world data experiments, demonstrating strong practical applicability in large scale and complex clutter environments. These results make ECA-BS particularly well-suited for real-time passive radar applications.
