  • Method and system for clutter blanking in a radar target processor
    Patent number: 4104631
    Abstract: In a radar system such as Doppler radar, clutter is eliminated without a requirement for somewhat sensitive frequency spectrum positioning. Processed returns are integrated over different halflook periods, where a look period is a period of constant pulse repetition frequency, and multiplexed into a postprocessor. The postprocessor measures the presence of clutter, and provides a blanking signal for clutter returns during portions of an operating cycle corresponding to clutter peaks.
