Knowledge Base Applications to Adative Space-Time Processing, Volume 2: Airborne Radar Filtering

摘要

There are many variations of space-time adaptive processing (STAP) that have been proposed since as far back as the 1960s. Practically all of the variations can be grouped into eight general methods. These methods are described in this report. An interesting discussion on the relative merits of the methods and of STAP in general is also included. Contentions are backed up by results from applying STAP to measured data. The merits identified in this report are used later (Volume III) to derive rules for a knowledge-based space- time adaptive processing system.
