Naval Air Defense Scenario
Moving Target Indicator (MTI) and Pulse-Doppler (PD)
processing use Doppler to reject clutter and enhance
detection of moving targets
Smaller targets require more clutter suppression

Two Pulse MTI Canceller
Fixed Clutter echoes
If one pulse is subtracted from the previous pulse, fixed clutter
echoes will cancel and will not be detected
Moving targets
Moving targets change in amplitude from one pulse to the next
because of their Doppler frequency shift.
If one pulse is subtracted from the other, the result will be an
uncancelled residue
