Analysis on Clutter Rank of Airborne Sidelooking Radar
This paper analyzes the rank of clutter with arbitrary beamwidth
observed by a sidelooking radar with arbitrary element spacing under the far field condition.The rank of spatial clutter with arbitrary beamwidth and element spacing is first analyzed in the range-wavenumber domain.Utilizing the space-time equivalence
the space-time clutter observed by an array is equivalent to the spatial clutter observed by another array with larger size.Thus
the rank of space-time clutter with arbitrary beamwidth and element spacing can be derived in a similar way and a formula for computating the space-time clutter rank is given.Simulation results are given to verify the validity of the analysis.
