Abstract
Processing methods and associated hardware architectures for the spatio-temporal processing of phased array sensor signals are disclosed. The processing method employs a joint spatio-temporal domain processing approach. The disclosed method is an optimal estimation scheme which exhibits significantly reduced computational burden. Suppression of interference sources at angles-of-arrival other than the desired signal is achieved implicitly. The associated system architecture provides not only the ability to achieve good joint angle-Doppler estimates, but offers the ability to easily trade the relative performance in each domain. The disclosed approach emphasizes the use of multiple hypothesis testing with spatio-temporal whitening filters.
