Bayesian Parametric Approach for Multichannel Adaptive Signal Detection
Abstract
This paper considers the problem of space-time adaptive processing (STAP) in non-homogeneous environments where the disturbance covariance matrices of the training and test signals are assumed random and different with each other. A Bayesian detection statistic is proposed by incorporating the randomness of the disturbance covariance matrices, utilizing a priori knowledge, and exploring the inherent Block-Toeplitz structure of the spatial-temporal covariance matrix. Speci cally the Block-Toeplitz structure of the covariance matrix allows us to model the training signals as a multichannel auto-regressive (AR) process and hence, develop the Bayesian parametric adaptive matched lter (B-PAMF) to mitigate the training requirement and alleviate the computational complexity. Simulation using both simulated multichannel AR data and the challenging KASSPER data validates the effectiveness of the B-PAMF in non-homogeneous environments.
