Abstract

Space-time adaptive processing (STAP) is an important radar technology. It is a cornerstone in the design of modern moving target indication and imaging radar systems. Specifically, STAP is a multidimensional filtering technique that mitigates the influence of clutter or radio frequency interference on principal radar products, viz. radar detections or images. This work serves as a tutorial reference of fundamental STAP concepts and techniques. The interested reader will encounter the basic STAP formulation, common STAP performance metrics, signal models, interference mitigation approaches, ...
