  • Abstract
    Use of primary radars for air traffic control (ATC) is discussed. The location and the parameters of various ATC radars are described. The clutter environment (land clutter, birds, automobiles, and weather) has had a major impact on the configuration of these radars. Signal-processing techniques and antenna techniques utilized to cope with the clutter are described. Future signal-processing techniques for the ATC radars are postulated.
