Abstract :
The experimental system PALES is built to study the capabilities and problems arising with a ´Shared Aperture´ antenna. In contrast to similar systems known from literature the capabilities of the multibeam system are enhanced by array signal processing in beamspace. First experimental results obtained by applying STAP, STCM and ICA processing are shown in the paper.
