STAP Architectures and Limiting Effects

Abstract

Detection of slowly moving targets by air- and spaceborne MTI radar is heavily degraded by the motion induced Doppler spread of clutter returns. Space time adaptive processing (STAP) can achieve optimum clutter rejection via implicit platform motion compensation. In this paper suboptimum receiver architectures are described. The impact of various radar parameters on the performance of STAP processors is demonstrated. Some aspects of jammer suppression will be touched on. The report concludes with an outlook on current and future research topics.
