4. Relative merits of pre-Doppler and post-Doppler STAP treatments

The discussions in this section are not intended to make an absolute choice between pre- or post-Doppler STAP architecture, but rather to provide food for thought and selection criteria that should govern the choice of STAP architecture.

The final choice of architecture is highly dependent on a given application (radar modes, scenarios, processing capacities, etc.), and only detailed investigation within the context of the application in question will enable a decision to be made.
