This paper mainly deals with the target detecting problem of MIMO radar with space time coding (STC) in compound Gaussian environment, which include the correlated Gaussian clutter and uncorrelated Gaussian scattering. The detector based on generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) criterion is studied, and two-step design procedure is adopted when the covariance of clutter is unknown. Specifically, a suitable GLRT estimate based on referenced data is inserted into the detector to make fully adaptive. Some numerical results are given, showing that the derived 2s-GLRT of STC MIMO radar can provide a good performance in spikier clutter and the adaptive loss is acceptable.

Abstract. The causal role of a unidirectional orthography in shaping speakers’ mental representations of time seems to be well established by many psychological experiments. However, the question of whether bidirectional writing systems in some languages can also produce such an impact on temporal cognition remains unresolved. To address this issue, the present study focused on Japanese and Taiwanese, both of which have a similar mix of texts written horizontally from left to right (HLR) and vertically from top to bottom (VTB). Two experiments were performed which recruited Japanese and Taiwanese speakers as participants. Experiment 1 used an explicit temporal arrangement design, and Experiment 2 measured implicit space-time associations in participants along the horizontal (left/right) and the vertical (up/down) axis. Converging evidence gathered from the two experiments demonstrate that neither Japanese speakers nor Taiwanese speakers aligned their vertical representations of time with the VTB writing orientation. Along the horizontal axis, only Japanese speakers encoded elapsing time into a left-to-right linear layout, which was commensurate with the HLR writing direction. Therefore, two distinct writing orientations of a language could not bring about two coexisting mental time lines. Possible theoretical implications underlying the findings are discussed.
