The means of the polarimetric processing for reducing the speckle can enhance ability to discriminate targets. Compared with conventional approaches, the subclass features obtained carry more information due to the neural learning and thus make the correctness of target classification higher. The simulation results have verified the validity of this approach.","PeriodicalId":144063,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of International Radar Conference","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123693018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However under non-stationary conditions, such as those experienced by an array mounted on a rapidly moving platform, performance may be significantly degraded. By modelling the dynamic behaviour of the beamforming weights the losses in performance may be recovered. In particular we show that through the estimation of a beamforming weight vector and its rate-of-change, we are able to compensate for the effects of a constant angular rotation of the array.","PeriodicalId":144063,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of International Radar Conference","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134270622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
