Space-time clutter rejection and target passive detection using the APES method

A new method to reject ground clutter using the Amplitude and Phase EStimation (APES) method is proposed. The theoretical approach is followed by the application of this method to the rejection of such an interference in the frame of a bistatic passive radar using digital video broadcasting - terrestrial (DVB-T) transmitters.
