| DEF 3547P - Clutter Phenom,Model,Synthesis |
|
Radar target detection, estimation, and tracking
performance is frequently limited by “clutter,” strong
returns generated by the Earth’s surface. Since World
War II, considerable effort has been put into developing
methods to suppress clutter returns or isolate them from
targets, including moving target indication, Doppler
filtering, and space-time adaptive processing. Tailoring
these technologies to specific radars and modes, and
implementing them on deployed radar systems, requires
a deep understanding of clutter effects and faithful
representation of clutter signals in high-fidelity modeling
and simulation tools and hardware-in-the-loop
environments. This course begins with a review of
surface clutter phenomenology, and continues with a
detailed discussion of clutter models commonly employed
in radar performance prediction and hardware testing.
It culminates by presenting options for real-time
generation of synthetic clutter. Exercises serve to
reinforce basic concepts.
