摘要
A system and method are disclosed for enhancing the suppression of clutter and target detection in a radar system located on a moving platform. For example, a radar system including an MTI subsystem is located on a moving platform (e.g., ship-borne, airborne or space-based radar system) with a DPCA processing unit located nearer to the front end of the radar receiver, and a STAP processing unit located nearer to the back end. The DPCA processing unit provides gross cancellation and suppression of the received clutter signals, and the STAP processing unit provides fine tuning for the clutter suppression process. In other words, the front end DPCA processing unit removes most of the rapidly varying clutter, which gives the back end STAP processing unit a more benign clutter environment to process. As such, using a DPCA processing unit on a space-based radar platform improves system performance, because the space-based platform is relatively stable and not subject to air turbulence or wave motion. Also, using a DPCA processing unit provides independence from clutter statistics, which is important because relatively little empirical clutter data is available from space-based radar platforms. Using a STAP processing unit for clutter suppression on the space-based radar platform provides fine tuning of the suppression process.
