Analysis of sea spikes in NetRad clutter

摘要

In this work our attention is focused on the statistical and spectral analysis of sea clutter spikes recorded by the netted radar system, NetRad, which works in both monostatic and bistatic configurations. Once separated the spikes from the background, we examine their properties, focusing on the spike width and on the interval which separates two consecutive spikes. The spectral properties of the sea spikes are also examined and compared with the background.
