Abstract:

In order to use the power spectrum propagation characteristics and adopt the theory of STAP for reverberation suppression and moving object detection, an improved method of STAP for sonar is proposed. Firstly, the principle of STAP is analyzed according to the echo model of radar. Secondly, comparing the echo models of sonar and radar, this method of STAP is presented and the Space-time coupling steering vector is used in space time processing. Finally, the proposed method of STAP is applied in space time processing and object detection. Simulation results illustrate that the modified method of STAP is beneficial to underwater object detection, and that applying the space-time coupling steering vector can increase the accuracy of the direction estimation of targets.

Key words: reverberation, space time adaptive processing, echo signal model, space-time coupling term
