Abstract :
This paper studies the waveform effect on the space time adaptive processing (STAP) of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar systems. A general signal model based on waveform diversity is constructed for MIMO STAP. System sensitivity and optimal adapted pattern are investigated according to waveform diversity. These studies show how the MIMO STAP performance is affected by waveform diversity, based on which we can do better trade-off to balance the system performance under different conditions.
