Range ambiguity clutter suppression for bistatic STAP radar
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bistatic pulse-Doppler airborne radar has desirable properties such as the low probability of detection by other radars relative to its monostatic counterpart. However, the clutter characteristics of bistatic airborne radar are more complex than those of monostatic airborne radar. The clutter spectra not only vary severely with range, but also vary with bistatic configuration. In this article, the geometry model of bistatic airborne radar is given, and the approximate estimation expressions for clutter degrees of freedom (DOFs) are presented. Then a novel clutter suppression method for bistatic airborne radar with range ambiguity is presented. The method completes registration-based range ambiguity clutter compensation based on non-uniform sampling and the estimated clutter DOFs. The simulation results illustrate the performance improvement achieved for bistatic airborne radar.

Evaluation of a Monostatic Stap Radar Range-compensation Method Applied to Selected Bistatic Configurations
The detection of slow moving targets by a moving bistatic pulsed Doppler radar system is addressed. Optimum clutter rejection is achieved using space-time adaptive processing (STAP). This requires estimating the clutter-plus-noise covariance matrix using a sequence of snapshots at successive ranges. For most monostatic and for all bistatic radar configurations, these snapshots are rangedependan...
متن کاملNew Solutions to the Problem of Range Dependence in Bistatic STAP Radars
We address the problem of detecting slow-moving targets using a space-time adaptive processing (STAP) radar. The construction of optimum weights at each range implies the estimation of the clutter covariance matrix. This is typically done by straight averaging of neighboring data snapshots. However, in bistatic configurations, these snapshots are rangedependent. As a result, straight averaging ...

In this paper, we describe a space-time adaptive processing (STAP) approach for bistatic space-based radar (SBR) ground moving target indication (GMTI) systems. A candidate bistatic SBR GMTI system employing a transmitter at medium earth orbit (MEO) and an airborne receiver is defined. To provide enhanced estimation of the clutter statistics, we apply a knowledge-aided STAP approach based on an...
متن کاملRegistration-Based Range-Dependence Compensation for Bistatic STAP Radars
We address the problem of detecting slow-moving targets using space-time adaptive processing (STAP) radar. Determining the optimum weights at each range requires data snapshots at neighboring ranges. However, in virtually all configurations, snapshot statistics are range dependent, meaning that snapshots are nonstationary with respect to range. This results in poor performance. In this paper, w...
متن کاملPrinciple and Evaluation of a Registration-based Range-dependence Compensation Method for Stap in Case of Arbitrary Antenna Patterns and Simulated Snapshots
We propose a new method for estimating the clutter power spectrum locus in arbitrary STAP radar configurations, i.e., both monostatic and bistatic. This locus is a surface in the 3D space of spatial frequency, Doppler frequency and range. Based on the knowledge of this locus, one can perform a range dependence compensation of the snapshots to obtain an estimate of the clutter covariance matrix....
