Abstract
When the transmitter is in motion, the airborne passive bistatic radar (PBR) has a complex clutter geometry and lacks independent and identically distributed training samples in clutter estimation and suppression. In order to solve these problems, this paper proposes a space–time adaptive processing (STAP) algorithm based on root off-grid sparse Bayesian learning. The proposed algorithm first models the space–time base of the dictionary as an adjustable state. Then, the positions of those dynamic bases are optimized by iterating a maximum expectation algorithm. In this way, the off-grid error in clutter estimation can be eliminated even when the modeling grid is wide. To further improve the accuracy of clutter estimation, the proposed algorithm eliminates the error caused by samples with singular values in the root off-grid sparse Bayes learning by artificially adding pseudorandom noise and using hypothesis testing. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm achieves better performance than the existing algorithms.
