Abstract: | In matched field processing (MFP) the spatial characteristics of a dispersive wave field are exploited to estimate certain parameters of the acoustic field, such as source location or characteristics of the acoustic channel including environmental parameters. In airborne MTI (AMTI) radar, interfering echoes (clutter) are Doppler colored due to the platform motion. Optimum clutter suppression requires space-time or space-frequency processing. Some thoughts concerning cross-fertilization between these two areas are put forward. In particular, the idea of space-time MFP is stressed. A processor for space-time power estimation is proposed |
