Abstract :
Radar space-time adaptive processing (STAP) techniques characteristically offer adaptivity in Doppler and azimuth. This research extends STAP concepts by incorporating elevation adaptivity using a two channel vertical interferometer. Using multi-stage processing and measured airborne radar data, clutter suppression improvement of 15 dB is achieved
