There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Abstract:
Ground clutter has challenged designers of airborne radar since the first examples were developed in the 1940's. Since that time, pulse-Doppler processing and space-time adaptive processing (STAP) have provided significant gains in clutter mitigation. This research examines the mitigation of ground clutter in compressed sensing (CS) radars, that use randomized sampling schemes. The work shows three results: (1) that clutter can be mitigated in these types of systems using the interference covariance matrix, (2) that the interference covariance can be estimated from compressed measurements using low-rank approximation. and (3) that results from random matrix theory can be used to improve processing for both CS radars and in the standard STAP context.
