Practical joint domain localised adaptive processing in homogeneous and nonhomogeneous environments. I. Homogeneous environments

Presents a comprehensive approach to practical space-time adaptive processing (STAP) for airborne phased array applications. Part 1 reformulates the JDL algorithm to remove restrictions placed by the original development for ideal linear arrays of point sensors. In doing so the performance of the JDL algorithm is significantly improved in simulations and in measured data. The paper deals with STAP in homogeneous environments. Part 1 deals with applying the previously proposed joint domain localised (JDL) algorithm to practical phased arrays
