Abstract :
This paper evaluates under the medium PRF condition the performance of sum-difference beam (ΣΔ)-STAP for clutter suppression in conjunction with a multiple sidelobe canceler for pre-suppression of wideband jammers. In terms of its output SINR and spatial response pattern, this approach to air/space-borne surveillance radars is found to perform well in the presence of both clutter and jammers
