Abstract
Compared with the uniform arrays, the conformal array can effectively reduce the radar cross section and improve the utilization of the limited space in the aircraft. However, the special array structure aggravates the non-stationarity of the clutter, and the typical blocking matrix construction method in the space–time adaptive processing (STAP) is not appropriate any more. To address these issues, a reduced dimension STAP algorithm based on penalty sequential convex programming in the generalized sidelobe cancellation structure is proposed. The blocking matrix, channel selection vector and STAP weights can be optimized simultaneously in the algorithm framework. To tackle the resultant nonconvex problem, we formulate the original optimization function as a quasi-convex form and solve these parameters alternately within an iterative framework. Numerical simulations are provided to validate the proposed method and demonstrate its high performance.
