To improve the performance of the recently developed parameter-dependent sparse recovery (SR) space-time adaptive processing (STAP) algorithms in real-world applications, the authors propose a novel clutter suppression algorithm with multiple measurement vectors (MMVs) using sparse Bayesian learning (SBL) strategy. First, the necessary and sufficient condition for uniqueness of sparse solutions to the SR STAP with MMV is derived. Then the SBL STAP algorithm in MMV case is introduced, and the process for hyperparameters estimation via expectation maximisation is given. Finally, a computational complexity comparison with the existing algorithms and an analysis of the proposed algorithm are conducted. Results with both simulated and the Mountain-Top data demonstrate the fast convergence and good performance of the proposed algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
