The MTI Conversion Unit for SC-SK Series Radar

Abstract

A coherent pulse doppler MTI (Moving Target Indicator) system has been developed for application to the SC-SK series radars to eliminate echoes produced on the indicators by large areas of land clutter when attempting to detect and track attacking enemy planes. Basic theory, design, and parameters associated with the MTI system are fully discussed and are shown to depend on the elementary Doppler Shift equation. The important mathematical relations for the design of a coherent pulse doppler MTI are developed along with a theoretical discussion, and the equations are tabulated in an Appendix for convenient referencing.
