Abstract: The present application discloses a new form of ?-STAP, referred to herein as post ?-STAP or P?-STAP, which overcomes the drawbacks associated with existing ?-STAP techniques. The P?-STAP techniques described herein facilitate the generation of additional training data and homogenization after pulse compression. For example, P?-STAP techniques may apply a plurality of homogenization filters to a pulse compressed datacube generated from an input radar waveform, which produces a plurality of new pulse compressed datacubes with improved characteristics. Unlike existing ?-STAP techniques described above, which require pre-pulse compressed data to operate, the P?-STAP techniques disclosed in the present application are designed to utilize pulse compressed data, and therefore may be readily applied to legacy radar systems.

Abstract: The present application provides techniques for reducing noise in sensor-based systems, such as radar systems. In particular, techniques referred to background supplemental cancellation (BaSC) and background supplemental loading (BaSL) are disclosed and facilitate improved detection of moving targets in certain types of radar systems, such as radar systems based on Reiterative minimum-mean square error (RMMSE) estimation formulations. The BaSC technique may utilize a hard cancellation, where clutter cancellation is performed prior to estimation, while the BaSL technique may utilize a “soft” cancellation technique whereby clutter cancellation is performed jointly with estimation. The clutter cancellation provided via the BaSC and BaSL techniques improves the accuracy of the radar system with respect to performing target detection.
