New radar clutter suppression schemes using modified multisegment MEM

Airborne adaptive MTI scheme with preventing the whitening of the target

“…Many ways to solve this problem have been suggested [l-41. Based on the assumptions that the clutter is correlated in the range direction [l], or in the azimuth directions [ Z ] , or in both range and azimuth directions [3], or in successive scams [4], these methods predict the current value of the cell under processing with the data from adjacent cells in order to prevent the target from whitening in the processed cell. However, in some airborne practical situations, the ground clutter is non-stationary by nature and lowly correlated among neighboring resolution cells.…”
