Radar Clutter Modeling

Abstract

A simulation method for the evaluation of radar performance in a clutter environment is explored. Three radar processors are tested on a common basis using measurement data in a theoretical model which displays both the spatial and frequency correlation properties of clutter. The effects of coherent, partially coherent, and specular scattering interacting with the radar processing are made evident.
