Abstract

Model the output echo power from the matched filter of airborne radar receiver. Based on the same pulse time width, the same transmitted power and the same radar operation scene, signal-clutter-noise power ratio of the matched filter output is presented, and some new results different from the intuitionistic viewpoints is put forward. The impact of signal bandwidth on airborne radar echoes and target detector is discussed in detail. At last, computer simulations about typical airborne radar operation scene provide the verification and analysis.
