Adaptive Polarization Processing for Improved Detection/Classification of Stationary Targets

Abstract

A new technique for detection of stationary or slow-moving over-resolved targets on the ground, based upon a Hotelling T-squared test/generalized inner product (GIP) approach to signal analysis is presented. This robust detector separates radar returns from interference via a coherent process. This GIP-based processing can be applied to single-receiver channel systems, multiple spatial channel systems multiple polarization channel systems or systems with multiple spatial and polarization channels.
