The Susceptivity of MTI Systems to White Noise

The performance of various coherent MTI systems in the presence of white noise is investigated. The single-pulse signal-to-noise ratios at the output of the filters are presented for the case of large system bandwidth. Generalized results, calculated as a function of the system's bandwidth, are given. Finally, those results are compared to the optimum signal-to-noise acheivable by a matched filter.
