Direct data domain approach to space-time adaptive processing

In non-homogeneous environment, traditional space-time adaptive processing doesn＇t effectively suppress interference and detect target, because the secondary data don＇ t exactly reflect the statistical characteristic of the range cell under test. A ravel methodology utilizing the direct data domain approach to space-time adaptive processing （ STAP ） in airbome radar non-homogeneous environments is presented. The deterministic least squares adaptive signal processing technique operates on a ＂snapshot-by-snapshot＂ basis to dethrone the adaptive adaptive weights for nulling interferences and estimating signal of interest （SOI）. Furthermore, this approach eliminates the requirement for estimating the covariance through the data of neighboring range cell, which eliminates calculating the inverse of covariance, and can be implemented to operate in real-time. Simulation results illustrate the efficiency of interference suppression in non-homogeneous environment.

STATISTICAL SPACE-TIME ADAPTIVE PROCESSING ALGORITHM

For the slowly changed environment-range-dependent non-homogeneity, a new statistical space-time adaptive processing algorithm is proposed, which uses the statistical methods, such as Bayes or likelihood criterion to estimate the approximative covariance matrix in the non-homogeneous condition. According to the statistical characteristics of the space-time snapshot data, via defining the aggregate snapshot data and corresponding events, the conditional probability of the space-time snapshot data which is the effective training data is given, then the weighting coefficients are obtained for the weighting method. The theory analysis indicates that the statistical methods of the Bayes and likelihood criterion for covariance matrix estimation are more reasonable than other methods that estimate the covariance matrix with the use of training data except the detected outliers. The last simulations attest that the proposed algorithms can estimate the covariance in the non-homogeneous condition exactly and have favorable characteristics.

Then, by the analysis of two-dimensional oriented vector in di- rection of the perturbation interference, the wideband interference covariance matrix obtained in the weights training period is modified. Finally, the optimum weight of multi-linear constrained space- time adaptive beam-forming alogrithm is derived for anti-interference filter processing.

A VERTICAL LAYERED SPACE-TIME CODE AND ITS CLOSED-FORM BLIND SYMBOL DETECTION

Vertical layered space-time codes have demonstrated the enormous potential to accommodate rapid flow data. Thus far, vertical layered space-time codes assumed that perfect estimates of current channel fading conditions are available at the receiver. However, increasing the number of transmit antennas increases the required training interval and reduces the available time in which data may be transmitted before the fading coefficients change. In this paper, a vertical layered space-time code is proposed. By applying the subspace method to the layered space-time code, the symbols can be detected without training symbols and channel estimates at the transmitter or the receiver. Monte Carlo simulations show that performance can approach that of the detection method with the knowledge of the channel.

Reduced-Rank Space-Time Processing for Anti-Jamming GPS Receivers

In a jamming environment with multiple wideband and narrowband jammers, global positioning system （GPS） receivers can use space-time processing to efficiently suppress the jamming. However, the computational complexity of space-time algorithms restricts their application in practical GPS receivers. This paper describes a reduced-rank multi-stage nested Wiener filter （MSNWF） based on subspace decomposition and Wiener filter （WF） to eliminate the effect of jamming in anti-jamming GPS receivers. A general sidelobe canceller （GSC） structure that is equivalent to the MSNWF is used to facilitate calculation of the optimal weights for the space-time processing. Simulation results demonstrate the satisfactory performance of the MSNWF to cancel jamming and the significant reduction in computational complexity by the reduced-rank processing. The technique offers a feasible space-time processing solution for anti-jamming GPS receivers.
