Abstract :
The GMTI performance of ΣΔ-STAP for a forward looking phased array radar is analyzed using the simulation tool RLSTAP. ΣΔ-STAP processes the returns from sum and difference antenna channels. When used in conjunction with partially adaptive STAP methods ΣΔ-STAP is shown to achieve good GMTI performance
