Application of Gram-Schmidt algorithm to optimum radar signal processing

The paper deals with the application of Gram-Schmidt decorrelation algorithm to the clutter cancellation and useful signal enhancement in radar signal processing. The proposed system architecture is an adaptive implementation of the well known optimum processor. The performance of the selected approach is evaluated and compared with that of the optimum one. As a general result, the adaptation time is a few tens of range cells and the losses are negligible. Finally, the hardware complexity is briefly considered
