Abstract
Considering the high computational burden of typical space–time adaptive processing (STAP) based on sparse representation (SR) (SR-STAP) method, a reduced-dimension (RD) SR-STAP method using simplified time–time (STT) transform spectrum is proposed to overcome this issue. First, the STT transform spectrum formula of clutter on cell under test (CUT) is deduced and the main energy of CUT in the STT transform domain is extracted. Second, to design the RD matrix, an adjustable RD threshold is defined, which is used to make a comparison with STT transform spectrum energy. Third, the RD SR dictionary is constructed to estimate the clutter spatial–temporal spectrum. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that the proposed sparse representation based on simplified time-time-STAP method reduces the computational burden significantly and has a highly similar clutter suppression performance compared with the typical SR-STAP.
