Abstract :
Multidimensional adaptive signal processing algorithms are vital components of advanced radar systems, improving detection and throughput performance by exploiting signal diversity. Our focus in this paper centers on some implementation issues facing adaptive radar algorithms. To this end, we mainly discuss challenges associated with clutter heterogeneity and nonstationarity. Furthermore, we overview some algorithm-based solutions to improve detection performance
