Abstract :
Space-time adaptive processing is attracting interest for use in airborne radars that detect low-flying aircraft and surface moving targets in the presence of clutter, jammers and other interference. This paper describes numerically robust and computationally efficient algorithms for STAP signal processing and their representation as systolic computational flow graphs. Their implementations using general-purpose parallel computers and application-specific ICs are compared
