The goal of radar space-time adaptive processing (STAP) is to detect slow moving targets from a moving platform, typically airborne or spaceborne. STAP generally requires the estimation and the inversion of an interference-plus-noise (I+N) covariance matrix. To reduce both the number of samples involved in the estimation and the computational cost inherent to the matrix inversion, many suboptimum STAP methods have been proposed. We propose a new canonical framework that encompasses all suboptimum STAP methods we are aware of. The framework allows for both covariance-matrix (CM) estimation and range-dependence compensation (RDC); it also applies to monostatic and bistatic configurations. Finally, we discuss a taxonomy for classifying the methods described by the framework.  相似文献

Reduced-rank STAP performance analysis   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
The space-time radar problem is well suited to the application of techniques that take advantage of the low-rank property of the space-time covariance matrix. It is shown that reduced-rank (RR) methods outperform full-rank space-time adaptive processing (STAP) when the space-time covariance matrix is estimated from a data set with limited support. The utility of RR methods is demonstrated by theoretical analysis, simulations and analysis of real data. It is shown that RR processing has two opposite effects on the performance: increased statistical stability which tends to improve performance, and introduction of a bias which lowers the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). A method for evaluating the theoretical conditioned SNR for fixed RR transforms is also presented. It Is shown that while best performance is obtained using data-dependent transforms, the loss incurred by the application of fixed transforms (such as the discrete cosine transform) may be relatively small. The main advantage of fixed transforms is the availability of efficient computational procedures for their implementation. These findings suggest that RR methods could facilitate the development of practical, real-time STAP technology  相似文献

The performance of a square law time-of-arrival (TOA) estimator that has been proposed for use in ASTRO-DABS, part of a possible satellite-based fourth generation air traffic control system is considered. The transmitted message consists of a pulse amplitude modulated (PAM) ranging sequence that, due to transmitter characteristics, is corrupted by an unknown frequency offset. The optimum TOA estimator, for the case of no frequency uncertainty, is first presented, together with a lower bound on the variance of the estimate generated. This is followed by the consideration of a suboptimum TOA estimator for which a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) performance analysis is carried out; here, the effects of frequency uncertainty are included. Next, the zero-crossing properties of the derivative of the (suboptimum) estimation statistic are presented and the results used to derive an upper bound to the TOA estimate variance that is valid for all SNR values. This latter result is significant because it displays the system threshold effect and complements performance lower bounds that may be derived via other methods. In addition, the method presented here may be applied to other optimum and suboptimum systems where a discrete set of parameters is to be estimated.  相似文献

脉冲干扰是一种常见的导航干扰类型,具有高带宽、突发性等特点,针对脉冲干扰的抑制具有较大难度。常规空时自适应处理不对接收信号类型进行区分,而是统一进行协方差矩阵估计及权值计算,存在抗脉冲干扰性能下降或失效的可能。针对以上问题,提出了一种基于功率特征分组的空时自适应处理方法。首先对接收数据进行功率检测,将信号采样数据分为有干扰数据组和无干扰数据组,然后对分组后的数据分别进行权值计算和滤波处理,最后将滤波后的数据按照采样顺序进行合并。该方法通过数据分组,提高了干噪比的统计计算准确度,增加了干扰零陷深度,实现了抗干扰能力的提升。理论分析和仿真实验均证明了该方法的有效性。  相似文献

It is shown that internal clutter motion, aircraft crabbing, scattering from near-field obstacles, and channel mismatch can limit the effectiveness of space-time processing in eliminating airborne clutter. An analytical expression is developed to show how each of these effects produces a deterioration in the signal-to-clutter-plus-noise ratio achievable. By studying the spectral decomposition of the covariance matrix, it is found that the effects of both internal clutter motion and crabbing can either be compensated by artificially adding noise or by processing more pulses. A near-field obstacle produces a spread of the clutter into all of sine azimuth-Doppler space. It is shown that the space-time processor attempts to compensate for this effect by placing a near-field null on the obstacle. Thus, adding more elements is much more effective in eliminating this effect than is processing more pulses. Channel mismatch can be alleviated by controlling the dispersive errors more tightly and by increasing the number of receive elements  相似文献

Real-time signal processing for a 16-channel phased array radar, including space-time adaptive processing (STAP) algorithms, has been implemented using a 29-node ruggedized version of an Intel Paragon. Techniques employed to efficiently implement each step of the signal processing are discussed. An overall throughput of 3.15 GFLOPS and processing efficiency of 48% has been achieved, indicating that embedded high performance computers can deliver a significant percentage of their advertised peak throughput under real system constraints  相似文献

Space-time autoregressive filtering for matched subspace STAP   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
Practical space-time adaptive processing (STAP) implementations rely on reduced-dimension processing, using techniques such as principle components or partially adaptive filters. The dimension reduction not only decreases the computational load, it also reduces the sample support required for estimating the interference statistics. This results because the clutter covariance is implicitly assumed to possess a certain (nonparametric) structure. We demonstrate how imposing a parametric structure on the clutter and jamming can lead to a further reduction in both computation and secondary sample support. Our approach, referred to as space-time autoregressive (STAR) filtering, is applied in two steps: first, a structured subspace orthogonal to that in which the clutter and interference reside is found, and second, a detector matched to this subspace is used to determine whether or not a target is present. Using a realistic simulated data set for circular array STAP, we demonstrate that this approach achieves significantly lower signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR) loss with a computational load that is less than that required by other popular approaches. The STAR algorithm also yields excellent performance with very small secondary sample support, a feature that is particularly attractive for applications involving nonstationary clutter.  相似文献

Space-time-frequency processing of synthetic aperture radar signals   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
The subject of this work is the detection and high resolution microwave imaging of objects moving on the ground and observed by an airborne radar. The proposed approach is based on a combined space-time and time-frequency processing. The space-time processing makes use of a linear array antenna and exploits the radar motion for filtering the received echoes in order to improve as much as possible the signal-to-disturbance ratio. The signal is then mapped onto the time-frequency domain, by computing its Wigner-Ville distribution, for a further filtering and for estimating its instantaneous frequency, necessary for the formation of a high resolution image of the moving object  相似文献

Spectral-domain covariance estimation with a priori knowledge   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
A knowledge-aided spectral-domain approach to estimating the interference covariance matrix used in space-time adaptive processing (STAP) is proposed. Prior knowledge of the range-Doppler clutter scene is used to identify geographic regions with homogeneous scattering statistics. Then, minimum-variance spectral estimation is used to arrive at a spectral-domain clutter estimate. Finally, space-time steering vectors are used to transform the spectral-domain estimate into a data-domain estimate of the clutter covariance matrix. The proposed technique is compared with ideal performance and to the fast maximum likelihood technique using simulated results. An investigation of the performance degradation that can occur due to various inaccurate knowledge assumptions is also presented  相似文献

Comparison between monostatic and bistatic antenna configurationsfor STAP   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
The unique characteristics of bistatic radar operation on the performance of airborne/spaceborne moving target indicator (MTI) radars that use space-time adaptive processing (STAP) are discussed. It has been shown that monostatic STAP radar has the following properties. 1) For a horizontal flight path and a planar Earth the curves of constant clutter Doppler (isodops) are hyperbolas. 2) For a sidelooking antenna geometry the clutter Doppler is range independent. 3) Clutter trajectories in the cosφ-F plane (F=normalized Doppler) are in general ellipses (or straight lines for a sidelooking array). We demonstrate that these well-known properties are distorted by the displacement between transmitter and receiver in a bistatic configuration. It is shown that even for the sidelooking array geometry the clutter Doppler is range-dependent which requires adaptation of the STAP processor for each individual range gate. Conclusions for the design of STAP processors are drawn  相似文献

This work describes new methods on the modeling of the amplitude statistics of airborne radar clutter by means of alpha-stable distributions. We develop joint target angle and Doppler, maximum likelihood-based estimation techniques from radar measurements retrieved in the presence of impulsive uncorrelated noise modeled as an alpha-stable random process. We derive the Cramer-Rao bounds (CRBs) for the additive Cauchy interference scenario to assess the best case estimation accuracy which can be achieved. In addition, we introduce a new joint spatial- and Doppler-frequency high-resolution estimation technique based on the fractional lower order statistics of the measurements of a radar array. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed methods can be of interest in the study of space-time adaptive processing (STAP) for airborne pulse Doppler radar arrays operating in impulsive interference environments  相似文献

This paper describes an innovative concept for knowledge-based control of space-time adaptive processing (STAP) for airborne early warning radar. The knowledge-based approach holds potential for significant performance improvements over classical STAP processing in nonhomogeneous environments by taking advantage of a priori knowledge. Under this approach, knowledge-based control is used to direct pre-adaptive filtering, and to carefully select STAP algorithms, parameters, and secondary data cells  相似文献

一种基于角度-多普勒补偿的均匀圆形   总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1  
采用均匀圆形相控阵天线的机载雷达杂波分布随距离变化而变化,各距离单元的杂波不再满足独立同分布的条件,造成统计型空时自适应处理(STAP)器性能下降。基于此,本文建立了均匀圆形天线机载雷达模型,对其杂波分布进行了分析,得出了空间角随阵元数非线性变化的特性造成其杂波距离维分布非均匀的结论。研究了一种均匀圆形天线机载雷达杂波抑制方法,该方法先通过修正的角度-多普勒补偿(MADC)预处理消除在杂波谱中心处的非均匀,再利用基于导数更新(DBU)技术进一步减小在其他方位杂波的非均匀程度。仿真结果表明了该方法的有效性。  相似文献
