Although space-time adaptive processing (STAP) has a number of applications, its main usefulness is in application to airborne (and spaceborne) movement target indication (MTI) radar. This is the area that Klemm (an active consultant at FGAN, the German Defense Research Establishment) focuses on as he presents an introduction to MTI system design that aims for suboptimum processors promising near optimum performance at low cost and with reduced computing time, weight, and energy consumption through the use of multichannel phased array antennae which provide spatial sampling of the backscattered echo field. In this new edition he adds a new chapter on the impact of the radar range equation on the STAP performance while retaining earlier materials on signal and interference models, properties of airborne clutter, adaptive space-time processors, space-time subspace techniques, spatial transforms for linear arrays, adaptive space-time digital filters, space-frequency processing, radar ambiguities, STAP under jamming conditions, bistatic radar, and target parameter estimation. The volume assumes basic knowledge of pulse Doppler radar and a familiarity with fundamentals of statistical detection theory and complex matrix algebra.
