A Simple Simulation Method of Ground Clutter for Airborne Pulse Doppler Radar

A simple computer simulation method of ground clutter for airborne pulse Doppler (PD) radar based on the analysis of cohered video is presented. Its simulated process and formula are discussed in detail. According as the simulated results of 2-D clutter for side-mounted radar, this paper discusses the influence of different pulse repetition frequencies (PRF) and different main beam direction on the spectrum of temporal-spatial 2-D clutter. The analysis results for airborne PD radars clutter simulation and clutter suppression has significant meaning in practice.
