Adjusting 3-Pulse Canceller to Enhance Slow Radar Targets Itzik Cohen, and Nadav Levanon Dept. of Electrical Engineering – Systems, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, 6997801, Israel Abstract Doppler processing of a coherent periodic waveform With assumption (b) and the weights in (1), the usually employs an n-pulse (or n-period) canceller followed by improvement in the signal-to-clutter ratio between the input a weighted FFT. Early moving target detection (MTD) used a and the output of the 3-pulse canceller is given by namely simple 3-pulse canceller as the MTI filter. MTD in ground- based radar faces a conflict between clutter attenuation and −1 1 2 1 2 (S C ) ⎡ 4 − (σ T ) 1 − (2σ T ) ⎤ slow targets’ visibility. The paper suggests two simple I = E ⎡ out ⎤= ⎢1− e 2 ω r + e 2 ω r ⎥ . (3) modifications to a 3-pulse canceller that will ease this conflict. ⎢⎣(S C )in ⎥⎦ ⎣ 3 3 ⎦ Detecting very slow targets within stationary clutter gains importance in border or perimeter safeguarding. Index Terms — Radar, Doppler processor, MTI, MTD, pulse- Optimizing the improvement factor [4, 5] will yield dependence of the middle weight W as function of canceller, weight window, clutter attenuation.
