چکیده
Abstract The performance of Space-Based Radar (SBR) to detect air or ground moving targets is influenced by earth clutter, so an effective algorithm to suppressing clutter can be designed if knowing the power and distribution of earth clutter. In this paper, the clutter model of SBR is deduced. Besides, the earth's rotation effect is taken into account and the modification to Doppler frequency is derived. Finally, we plot clutter space-time spectrum and clutter angle-Doppler traces based on the modeling. It is shown that earth's rotation together with Doppler ambiguity significantly degrade the clutter suppression performance of adaptive processing algorithms. Detailed derivations of these results are presented in this paper.

Knowledge-Aided Covariance Matrix Estimation in Spiky Radar Clutter Environments
Space-time adaptive processing (STAP) is an important airborne radar technique used to improve target detection in clutter-limited environments. Effective STAP implementation is dependent on accurate space-time covariance matrix estimation. Heterogeneous clutter, including spiky, spatial clutter variation, violates underlying STAP training assumptions and can significantly degrade corresponding...
