A Short-Pulse Area MTI.
Abstract
Slow-moving and fast-moving objects can be discriminated between by noncoherently subtracting the video return of a pulse of a short-pulse radar from the video return of the preceding pulse. Under the condition of the scattering object acting as a point target, the probability of detection versus object speed for various signal-to-noise ratios and a fixed probability of false alarm was found. The results showed low detectability for slow-speed targets and high detectability for higher speed targets. The velocity range of low detectability was a function of signal-to-noise ratio. This moving-target detector does not have velocity or range ambiguities, as often is the case with moving-target detectors based on doppler processing. (Author)
