Abstract

Ground-moving target indication (GMTI) clutter rejection performance is conveniently represented by the signal-to-interference-ratio improvement factor. The effects which limit the SIR improvement factor, including clutter spectral width, platform motion and radar instability are reviewed and quantified. Calculation of the SIR improvement factor and consequent detection performance are described and illustrated for an E-scan radar employing DPCA for clutter motion compensation.
