Parallel Matlab Computation for STAP Clutter Scattering Function Estimation and Moving Target Estimation

摘要

Conventional moving target estimation in STAP radar applications is based, in part, on adaptive clutter scattering function estimation techniques. These techniques classically rely on radar return data from adjacent range gates to estimate the clutter scattering function for the range gate of interest. Here, we are interested in using geographical information systems in conjunction with accurate platform positioning information as the basis for the clutter scattering function estimation. The goal is to improve the effectiveness of moving target estimation techniques by providing additional information to the decisionmaking process.
