Abstract :
The performance of a parametric space-time adaptive processing (STAP) method is presented here. Specifically, we consider signal detection in additive disturbance containing compound-Gaussian radar clutter plus additive Gaussian thermal white noise. Performance is compared to the normalized adaptive matched filter. We focus on the issues of detection and false alarm probabilities, CFAR, and robustness with respect to clutter texture power variations
