Hassan Elkamchouchi, Darwish Mohamed, Wael Ali . D3LS STAP Approach on Wideband Signals using Uniformly Spaced Real Elements. International Journal of Computer Applications. 22, 4 ( May 2011), 42-47. DOI=10.5120/2568-3530
Abstract
In this paper, Space Time Adaptive Processing (STAP) applied on wideband signals from uniformly spaced real elements using Direct Data Domain Least Squares (D3LS). Two antenna configurations are used: an array of dipole antenna (narrowband antenna) and an array of patch antenna (wideband antenna). A frequency transformation technique is used only for the case of narrowband antenna which transforms the steering vector at a wideband frequency to another steering vector at the desired frequency. The mutual coupling between elements will affect on the estimation of complex amplitude of Signal of Interest (SOI). It is necessary to compensate for the strong mutual coupling that exists between the real antenna elements. This is done by using coupling transformation matrix which converts the voltages that are induced at the real antenna elements to an equivalent set of voltages that will be induced by the same incident wave in uniform linear virtual array (ULVA). Then, we will apply STAP D3LS on the compensated voltages. Numerical simulations are done using the three main methods of D3LS namely the forward, backward, and the forward–backward methods.
