STAP in conformal phased array airborne radar

The pattern and the element location method of a conformal phased array (CPA) are deduced and the characteristics of the space-time clutter of CPA side-looking airborne radar are analyzed. Finally, a clutter suppression technique based on space-time adaptive processing (STAP) is discussed.
