Space-time adaptive processing (STAP) can obtain excellent clutter suppression performance based on the accurate estimate of clutter plus noise covariance matrix which is obtained by enough identical independent distributed samples. However, the short-range clutter of non-side looking airborne radar (non-SLAR) occurs range dependence. As a result, the clutter plus noise covariance matrix can not be estimated accurately and thus the clutter suppressing performance by STAP declines greatly. In this paper, an elevation constraint adaptive processing method is proposed. This method obtains the elevation target steering vector by the eigen-decomposition of the elevation covariance matrix on the ambiguous pure far-range clutter, it is used to suppress short-range clutter and the residual range-independent clutter can be suppressed by two-dimensional azimuth-Doppler STAP methods. Simulation results show validity of the proposed method.

A novel space-time adaptive processing (STAP) method for nonstationary clutter suppression is proposed. The developed method forms a multibeam along the cross line to participate in adaptive processing, which sufficiently utilizes the spatial information both in azimuth and elevation and guarantees the least system degrees of freedom (DOFs). The characteristics of this structure help to suppress the short-range clutter which is the primary component of nonstationary clutter. Therefore, this method provides favorable clutter suppression performance when clutter range dependence exists. Approach analysis and simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.

The clutter distribution of airborne radar with non-sidelooking uniform linear array antennas varies with ranges and samples in different range gates are not independent identically distributed vectors, so that the statistical STAP methods degrade greatly. In this paper, an improved clutter range dependence compensation method for airborne radar with uniform linear array is proposed. This method involves in a preprocessing with ADC method to align the mainlobe of clutter spectrum in different range gates and subsequently clutter suppression in other azimuths with EDBU technology. Simulation results show the proposed method can reduce the clutter spectrum dispersion significantly and outperform conventional local compensation methods.
