Application of the minimum variance monopulse technique to space-time adaptive processing

An adaptive monopulse technique has recently been developed to obtain target direction estimates with minimum error variance. In this paper the `minimum variance adaptive monopulse´ technique (MVAM) is extended to space-time adaptive processing (STAP). Simulations of slow moving targets demonstrate the advantages of using MVAM rather than other space-time adaptive monopulse techniques for the estimation of target direction and Doppler frequency
