A novel and fast algorithm is proposed to reduce the computation cost of the common grid searching method in estimating spacial-time parameters of airborne radar targets. The echo signal data from airborne radar array are processed by the dimension reduction spacial-time adaptive processing(STAP)method. Spacial filtering to the Doppler channel with maximal filter output is performed to get three different space angle steer vectors. Then
the spacial frequency is estimated by finding the roots of a polynomial which is constructed utilizing the three adaptive weights and outputs. The Doppler frequency is estimated using the filter outputs of three Doppler channels in the main lobe of the filter response curve and from the peak of the second-order response curve. Simulation results show that the computational cost of the proposed method is 1/100 of that of the grid searching method with the same estimation accuracy.
