The present invention describes a space-time adaptive processing (STAP) system and method combining adaptive processing with automatic phase calibration providing an improved signal-to-noise ratio of a received signal. The adaptive processing is accomplished by calculating a reduced rank approximation of a factorization of a covariance matrix via a partial singular value decomposition of the data matrix. According to the present invention, the calculation of a white noise gain constraint does not require knowledge or estimation of the noise floor. Automatic phase calibration using the signal data as the calibration source combined with the adaptive processing according to the present invention provides and enhance signal-to-noise ratio and clutter suppression.

La présente invention concerne un système de traitement spatio-temporel adaptatif (STAP) et un procédé combinant le traitement adaptatif et l'étalonnage de phase automatique, permettant d'obtenir un meilleur rapport signal sur bruit pour un signal reçu. Le traitement adaptatif est effectué par calcul d'une approximation du numéro de niveau réduit d'une factorisation d'une matrice de covariances par décomposition d'une valeur partielle singulière de la matrice de données. Selon le mode réalisation décrit dans cette invention, le calcul de la contrainte d'un gain de bruit blanc ne nécessite ni la connaissance ni l'estimation du plancher de bruit. L'étalonnage de phase automatique au moyen de données de signal en tant que source d'étalonnage, combiné au traitement adaptatif susmentionné permet d'obtenir un rapport signal sur bruit amélioré et une meilleure suppression des fouillis.
