Abstract
We analyze the performance of various techniques to overcome degradation of performance of STAP caused by nonhomogeneous clutter. The performance of NHD that used to eliminate outliers from nonhomogeneous clutter is improved by using the projection statistics(PS) that is robust to multiple outliers. The method of clutter covariance matrix estimation using a median value and the conventional method are also investigated and then compared. From the simulation results of STAP, the method of clutter covariance matrix estimation using a median value shows better performance than the conventional method for the calculation of the SINR loss, and MSMI for the single target and the multiple targets regardless of the NHD methods.
