Abstract
A signal processing system applies space-time adaptive processing ('STAP') to an airborne surveillance Doppler radar comprised of a single-channel, electronically scanned antenna. The STAP substantially improves signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio ('SINR') by synthetically creating angular degrees of freedom, thereby improving the detection of weak targets.
