Lessons learned from recent STAP experiments

This paper summarizes personal lessons learned so far from some space-time adaptive processing (STAP) radar experiments and data analysis, which include the nonhomogeneity effects, channel calibration, and STAP with conventionally designed antenna beams. Based on these lessons, a general STAP configuration is presented for affordable airborne systems of practical aperture sizes to be operated in real environments.
