MTI Noise Integration Loss.

Abstract

MTI signal processing correlates the independent input noise and thus degrades detection performance when the MTI pulses are integrated. By use of simulation techniques the noise integration loss is calculated for small and intermediate sample sizes, for which the ouptut is not Gaussian distributed. The losses for two-, three-, four-, and five-pulse MTIs are approximately 1.0, 1.8, 2.2, and 2.5 dB respectively. (Author)
