General framework for describing and evaluating Suboptimum techniques for radar STAP
نویسندگان
چکیده
As a result, many authors, e.g. [1-6], have proposed suboptimum methods that reduce the computational needs. First, we present a new framework that unifies all suboptimum methods we are aware of. Second, we present an original decomposition of the CSNR (Conditioned SNR) performance measure [7]. This decomposition can be used to understand the performance degradation that is specifically due to the use of a suboptimum method. It can thus be used to compare the performance of various suboptimum methods.

A Canonical Framework for Suboptimum Space-Time Adaptive Processing (STAP), Including Covariance-Matrix Estimation and Range-Dependence Compensation
We address the problem of detecting slow moving targets from a moving radar system using spacetime adaptive processing (STAP) techniques. Optimum interference rejection requires the estimation and the inversion of an interference-plus-noise covariance matrix. To reduce the number of samples involved in the estimation and the computational cost inherent to the inversion, many suboptimum STAP tec...

متن کاملRadar Signal Detection in K-distributed Clutter by Pade Approximation
In this paper, two suboptimum detectors are proposed for coherent radar signal detection in K-distributed clutter. Assuming certain values for several initial moments of clutter amplitude, the characteristic function of the clutter amplitude is approximated by a limited series. Using the Pade approximation, it is then converted to a rational fraction. Thus, the pdf of the clutter amplitude is o...

متن کاملRadar Space-Time Adaptive Processing
Space-time adaptive processing (STAP) is a signal processing technique that was originally developed for detecting slow-moving targets using airborne radars. The general principle of STAP is as follows. The radar transmits a train of M coherent pulses. The echoes from potential targets (and clutter) are collected at each of the N elements of an antenna array. Separate receiver chains are attach...
