An Application of Digital Filters for Radar Clutter Reduction.

Abstract

The thesis presents the design procedures involved in implementing a digital filter for use in a range-gated moving-target-indicator (MTI) radar. The digital MTI filter synthesized on the XDS-9300 computer was a third-order recursive filter with Chebyshev characteristics. The digital MTI filter was evaluated by constructing the equivalent of a single range channel for use with the AN/UPS-1 air-search radar and comparing its performance to that of the single delay-line canceler of the AN/UPS-1.
