Preliminary Results of Radar Environmental Mapping.

Abstract

The signals received by radars often contain much more information than the echoes from targets, but usually only the target echoes are extracted. Means of extracting the environmental conditions such as rain and land clutter, noise jamming, short-pulse interference, and thermal-noise regions are studied. The knowledge of the environmental conditions is thought to be useful in target tracking and radar control processes.
