Performance analysis of multiple-Doppler-channel joint processing for airborne radar

The practical multiple-Doppler-channel joint processing approach is analyzed for airborne radar with non-sidelooking array. The performances of the 3-Doppler-channel processor are evaluated by the improvement factor and 2-dimensional range-velocity blind cover in the medium pulse repetition frequency (MPRF) mode. The results shows that the 3-Doppler-channel joint processor can achieve the ideal performance and obviously outperform the Doppler filtering cascaded spatial adaptive processing approach.
