    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_target_indication

    Moving target indication (MTI) is a mode of operation of a radar to discriminate a target against the clutter. [1] It describes a variety of techniques used for finding moving objects, like an aircraft, and filter out unmoving ones, like hills or trees.

  3. Pulse-Doppler radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-Doppler_radar

    Search radar that include pulse-Doppler are usually dual mode because best overall performance is achieved when pulse-Doppler is used for areas with high false alarm rates (horizon or below and weather), while conventional radar will scan faster in free-space where false alarm rate is low (above horizon with clear skies).

  4. Radar signal characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_signal_characteristics

    Radar Pulse Train. The carrier is an RF signal, typically of microwave frequencies, which is usually (but not always) modulated to allow the system to capture the required data. In simple ranging radars, the carrier will be pulse modulated and in continuous wave systems, such as Doppler radar, modulation may not be required

  5. List of radar types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_radar_types

    Ships and planes are metal, and reflect radio waves. The radar measures the distance to the reflector by measuring the time of the round trip from emission of a pulse to reception, dividing this by two, and then multiplying by the speed of light. To be accepted, the received pulse has to lie within a period of time called the range gate. The ...

  6. Continuous-wave radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous-wave_radar

    Continuous-wave radar (CW radar) is a type of radar system where a known stable frequency continuous wave radio energy is transmitted and then received from any reflecting objects. [1] Individual objects can be detected using the Doppler effect , which causes the received signal to have a different frequency from the transmitted signal ...

  7. Pulse-Doppler signal processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-Doppler_signal...

    Pulse Doppler radar may have 50 or more pulses between the radar and the reflector. Pulse Doppler relies on medium pulse repetition frequency (PRF) from about 3 kHz to 30 kHz. Each transmit pulse is separated by 5 km to 50 km distance. Range and speed of the target are folded by a modulo operation produced by the sampling process.

  8. Doppler radar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_radar

    A Doppler radar is a specialized radar that uses the Doppler effect to produce velocity data about objects at a distance. [1] It does this by bouncing a microwave signal off a desired target and analyzing how the object's motion has altered the frequency of the returned signal.

  9. Space-time adaptive processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-time_adaptive_processing

    For ground-based radar, cluttered returns tend to be at DC, making them easily discriminated by Moving Target Indication (MTI). [3] Thus, a notch filter at the zero-Doppler bin can be used. [2] Airborne platforms with ownship motion experience relative ground clutter motion dependent on the angle, resulting in angle-Doppler coupling at the ...
