The clutter distribution of airborne radar with non-sidelooking uniform linear array antennas varies with ranges and samples in different range gates are not independent identically distributed vectors, so that the statistical STAP methods degrade greatly. In this paper, an improved clutter range dependence compensation method for airborne radar with uniform linear array is proposed. This method involves in a preprocessing with ADC method to align the mainlobe of clutter spectrum in different range gates and subsequently clutter suppression in other azimuths with EDBU technology. Simulation results show the proposed method can reduce the clutter spectrum dispersion significantly and outperform conventional local compensation methods.
