Abstract

See full text

An uncorrelated clutter noise cancellation method and apparatus employing a measured ambiguity function sample for each randomly-modulated transmission pulse in a randomly-modulated pulsed Doppler radar system. The ambiguity function samples are calculated from a stored copy of the randomly-modulated transmission signal. Estimates of the uncorrelated clutter backscatter are first developed by calculating the amplitude and phase of the radar returns detected in target range and velocity cells corresponding to stationary scatterers. The stationary scatterer contribution to each target cell, computed according to the sample ambiguity function, is then subtracted to eliminate the uncorrelated noise component in the return signal for the target cell. This clutter cancellation technique does not rely on correlations between the randomly-modulated transmission signal and the clutter return signal.
