Utilising the excellent performance on orthogonality and bandwidth synthesis of the frequency division multiple access (FDMA) waveform and the longer accumulation time of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar, a robust low-sidelobe target synthesis method for airborne FDMA-MIMO STAP radar is developed. The spectra characteristics of target and clutter are first analysed. Then, the keystone transform is employed to mitigate velocity migration. To avoid gain fluctuation induced by multiple independent adaptive weight vectors, the robust STAP beamformer is developed. Finally, to decouple the range-angle coupling relationship resulted from the FDMA waveform, angle compensation is added in the robust STAP beamformer. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the presented method. 收起
