Prolate spheroidal wave function (PSWF) method could improve the target detection performance for space-time adaptive processing (STAP) in nonhomogeneous environment. However, it may be ineffective with system parameter error. In this paper, we correct the system parameter with clutter spectrum analysis. Since contaminated samples contained in the secondary data set have detrimental impact on this spectrum analysis, the traditional sample selection method of generalized inner production (GIP) is combined with PSWF method, and then a bi-iterative scheme is proposed. Firstly, the system parameter for PSWF is estimated via the analysis of spectrum image, which is constructed with the secondary data set. Then, the covariance matrix is derived by PSWF method with the estimated parameter. Thirdly, the GIP sample selection technique is implemented with the PSWF covariance matrix, and the secondary data set would be updated. Repeat these steps until a stable parameter is obtained. Several vital issues such as how to estimate the parameter with real data and why the precision of covariance matrix could be improved during the iteration are analyzed. In the end, the validity of the proposed algorithm is substantiated by practical and simulation results.
