Abstract :
Space-time adaptive processing achieves optimum clutter rejection for airborne radar. Several aspects of space-time adaptive processing in the design phase of an operational system are addressed: use of a realistic array antenna (planar circular, 1204 elements); forward-looking arrangement; comparison with conventional temporal MTI processing; effect of tapering and impact of jamming. Results of this work contribute to the trilateral AMSAR project
