A ravel methodology utilizing the direct data domain approach to space-time adaptive processing （ STAP ） in airbome radar non-homogeneous environments is presented. The deterministic least squares adaptive signal processing technique operates on a ＂snapshot-by-snapshot＂ basis to dethrone the adaptive adaptive weights for nulling interferences and estimating signal of interest （SOI）. Furthermore, this approach eliminates the requirement for estimating the covariance through the data of neighboring range cell, which eliminates calculating the inverse of covariance, and can be implemented to operate in real-time. Simulation results illustrate the efficiency of interference suppression in non-homogeneous environment.展开更多

According to the statistical characteristics of the space-time snapshot data, via defining the aggregate snapshot data and corresponding events, the conditional probability of the space-time snapshot data which is the effective training data is given, then the weighting coefficients are obtained for the weighting method. The theory analysis indicates that the statistical methods of the Bayes and likelihood criterion for covariance matrix estimation are more reasonable than other methods that estimate the covariance matrix with the use of training data except the detected outliers. The last simulations attest that the proposed algorithms can estimate the covariance in the non-homogeneous condition exactly and have favorable characteristics.展开更多

Thus far, vertical layered space-time codes assumed that perfect estimates of current channel fading conditions are available at the receiver. However, increasing the number of transmit antennas increases the required training interval and reduces the available time in which data may be transmitted before the fading coefficients change. In this paper, a vertical layered space-time code is proposed. By applying the subspace method to the layered space-time code, the symbols can be detected without training symbols and channel estimates at the transmitter or the receiver. Monte Carlo simulations show that performance can approach that of the detection method with the knowledge of the channel.展开更多

The sum-difference data are obtained by orthogonal projection of the joint pixels data of different synthetic aperture radar （SAR） images generated by a multi-satellite radar system. In the sense of statistical expectation, the sum-difference data contain the common and different information of the SAR images. Therefore, the objective of clutter cancellation can be achieved by adaptive processing. Moreover, based on the residual image after clutter rejection, statistical analysis of constant false-alarm rate （CFAR） detection of moving targets is also presented. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed algorithm even with heterogeneous clutter and image co-registration error.展开更多

However, the computational complexity of space-time algorithms restricts their application in practical GPS receivers. This paper describes a reduced-rank multi-stage nested Wiener filter （MSNWF） based on subspace decomposition and Wiener filter （WF） to eliminate the effect of jamming in anti-jamming GPS receivers. A general sidelobe canceller （GSC） structure that is equivalent to the MSNWF is used to facilitate calculation of the optimal weights for the space-time processing. Simulation results demonstrate the satisfactory performance of the MSNWF to cancel jamming and the significant reduction in computational complexity by the reduced-rank processing. The technique offers a feasible space-time processing solution for anti-jamming GPS receivers.展开更多

Multi- ple-input multiple-output （M1MO） radar is a new radar concept and has superiority over conventional radars. Recent proposals have been applying STAP in MIMO configuration to the improvement of the performance of conventional radars. As waveforms transmitted by MIMO radar can be correlated or uncorrelated with each other, this article develops a unified signal model incor- porating waveforms for STAP in MIMO radar with waveform diversity. Through this framework, STAP performances are ex- pressed as functions of the waveform covariance matrix （WCM）. Then, effects of waveforms can be investigated. The sensitivity, i.e., the maximum range detectable, is shown to be proportional to the maximum eigenvalue of WCM. Both theoretical studies and numerical simulation examples illustrate the waveform effects on the sensitivity of MIMO STAP radar, based on which we can make better trade-off between waveforms to achieve optimal system performance.展开更多
