Radar Signal Processing

[R]

I would like to start a discussion on novel technique in radar signal
processing. Different processing concepts has been developed since
Neymann and Pearson propose their test hypothesis schema. Among them I
would like to put on evidence the following:

- SAR, ISAR and InSAR technique;
- STAP and adaptive STAP technique;
- Neural Network Technique;

Just to name few (but consistent) attempt to deal with radar signal.

Now,which are, in your opinion, the new frontier of Radar Signal
Processing Technique?

As far as I can tell opportunistic multiband passive with >2 scan sites has
the most demanding requirements.
You might add ultra-broadband ground penetration radar to your list.

- SAR, ISAR and InSAR technique;

What do SAR and inverse-SAR have to do with the Neymann-Pearson lemma?
Aslo, ISAR == interferometric SAR???

- STAP and adaptive STAP technique;

Space-Time Adaptive Processing vs. Adaptive Space-Time Adaptive
Processing? What is the difference?

Normally the acronymn "ISAR" means "inverse synthetic aperture radar".

Then does InSAR mean?

Generally,

InSAR = IFSAR = Interferometric SAR

minor point: this would generally be "cross track" interferometry for the
purpose of topographic height measurements, as opposed to "along track"
inteferometry which usually (but not always) goes by yet other names.

That clarifies that. Can you shed any light on adaptive STAP vs. STAP?
Or is this like an ATM machine (Automatic Teller Machine machine)?

This is not a question on 'what the acronyms mean'... the discussion I
started has a different aim, what I can read behind your phrases is
only a fruitless polemics. If you need further clarification about
acronyms you can try with 'google.com' or anyway with some reference
books.
As an example for STAP and Adaptive STAP you can find the answer to
your last dilemma reading books and papers written by the following
authors:

Y.I. Abramovich ; A. Farina ; R. Klemm ; W.L. Melvin;

I suppose that I have made just one mistake: to start this discussion
here.

P.S. Next time you should be more polite.

I wasnt trying to be rude, sorry to come across as such. You gave
examples, and I asked for clarification of what your acronymns meant.
Is it not important that different people use the same acronymns to
mean the same thing? Otherwise, things would get real confusing real
fast.

Also, your referecne to the N.P lemma suggested that you were
interested in detection, not imaging. That is why I asked what SAR had
to do with the NP lemma. A simple example of how NP is applicable to
SAR would have been appropriate, or perhaps a clarification as to which
applications your were interested in.

Please don't think that I represent all those who post here. I am
defenitley bottom scrapings. There is no need to take your ball and go
home.
