Nonlinear Suppression of Range-Ambiguous Clutter for Outdoor Radar Measurement Facilities

<p>In the outdoor measurement facility a certain amount of real estate is owned by the organization and therefore can be groomed to keep clutter contributions to a minimum. However as the transmit signal travels further downrange returns from long-range clutter sources are inevitable and can have signi cant impact on mea- surement accuracy. This research e ort investigates the e ectiveness of employing nonlinear suppression (NLS) to abate long-range ambiguous clutter in these facili- ties. In the simple two-pulse case NLS requires a pulse repetition frequency which divides the radar's maximum range into two unambiguous ranges and a transmit sig- nal comprised of alternating nearly orthogonal pulses.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
