Radar apparatus provided with a coherent clutter map

摘要

Radar apparatus provided with transmitter means (1), rotating antenna means (2) and receiver means (3) for the transmission per burst and the processing in a video processor of radar echo signals. The video-processor comprises moving target detection unit (4) provided with a doppler filter bank, for instance an FFT processor, and slow moving target detection unit (6), provided with coherent clutter maps, one map for each radar transmitter frequency used. The coherent clutter maps are also used for reducing the clutter strength of radar echo signals which are applied to the moving target detection unit (4), by subtracting the coherent clutter strengths stored in the clutter maps from the radar echo signals.
