New Solutions to the Problem of Range Dependence in Bistatic STAP Radars

چکیده
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 results in poor performance. After reviewing existing methods for handling the range-dependence, we present new methods exploiting the precise shape of the bistatic direction-Doppler curves.

Registration-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 کاملComparison of methods for handling the range- dependence of the clutter ridge for monostatic and bistatic STAP radars
Detection of slow moving targets using a moving pulsed Doppler radar system has been a problem of great interest for quite some time [1]. One distinguishes between monostatic (MS) configurations, where the radar transmitter and receiver are colocated and bistatic (BS) configurations, where they are physically separated and have separated motions. In either case, a train of coherent pulses is tr...
متن کاملA Canonical Framework for Suboptimum Space-Time Adaptive Processing (STAP), Including Covariance-Matrix Estimation and Range-Dependence Compensation
We address the problem of detecting slow moving targets from a moving radar system using spacetime adaptive processing (STAP) techniques. Optimum interference rejection requires the estimation and the inversion of an interference-plus-noise covariance matrix. To reduce the number of samples involved in the estimation and the computational cost inherent to the inversion, many suboptimum STAP tec...
متن کاملAutomatic Configuration-Parameters Estimation and Range-Dependence Compensation Using Simulated, Single-Realization, Random Snapshots in STAP
Mitigation of radar ground clutter via STAP requires estimating the interference-plus-noise snapshot covariance matrix at each range. The typical approach is to average single-realization sample covariance matrices at neighboring ranges. However, in most configurations, snapshots have range-dependent spectral characteristics, leading to severe performance degradations. In [1], we proposed range...
