The STAP system suppresses clutter and jamming of the radar signal, but required a large number of samples for optimal performance. A large number of samples increases the signal processing computation. Therefore, there is need for a transformation method for reducing the signal rank. The LCMV beamforming method can easily set the distortion-free-constraint in the direction of arrival, and the beamforming scaling is excellent, so that overall rank can be reduced. In this study, the information of target is estimated using the proposed quadratic pattern constraints(QPC) and LCMV beamforming methods. The proposed method can perform beam pattern control in a desired direction according to the number of constraint conditions as a secondary pattern constraint condition. Through simulation, the performance of the propose method is verified. As a result on th simulation, the desired target was estimated when the proposed method had an angular resolution of 10 degrees or more, but it was not possible to accurately estimate the desired target when the angular resolution was less than 10 degrees.
