Abstract:

By the utilization of the additional polarized information, the minimum detectable velocity could be improved for space time adaptive processing under the polarimetric radar system. In this paper, the performance of polarization space time adaptive processing is analyzed and compared with the traditional space-time adaptive processing based on the output signal to clutter plus noise ratio, and the primary affecting factors of three dimensional processing are indicated. A preliminary result against an airborne simulation data verifies the conclusion.

Key words: polarimetric radar, target detection, polarized signal processing, space-time adaptive processing
