Abstract :
The paper discusses the impact of mutual coupling on space-time adaptive processing (STAP) algorithms. To do so, simulations are used to illustrate the impact on the structure of the covariance matrix. Examples using multi-channel airborne radar measured data illustrate the effects of mutual coupling and channel mismatch.
