Abstract

In this paper the influence of clutter power spectrum on unambiguous radar target detection with single low pulse repetition frequency wideband waveform is analyzed. Impact of both stationary and diffuse clutter components for different signal bandwidths and coherent processing intervals (CPI) is studied. Exponential model of the ground clutter power spectrum for the diffuse component is used. For the first time, radar detection performance for wideband signals at ambiguous to clutter velocities is predicted as function of bandwidth and CPI.
