Design of a Staggered-PRF MTI Filter

Abstract

To avoid blind speed phenomena, staggered PRF MTI systems are used in modern radars for detection of high-speed targets. In this report a procedure is presented which considers both the effect of filter weights and the interpulse durations simultaneously. The design goal of this procedure is to yield a filter with minimum variations in the passband and maximum attenuation in the stopband.
