5 How to Handle Noise and Clutter If he doesn t take his arm off my shoulder I m going to hide his stash of Hershey Bars!! Why does Steve always talk me into doing ridiculous stunts like this? Radar Course_5.ppt

6 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 Rain Clutter Chaff Birds Ground Clutter Sea Clutter Radar Course_6.ppt MTI_RadSys JW 7/31/2008

7 Outline Introduction Moving Target Indicator (MTI) Techniques Pulse Doppler Processing Techniques Summary Radar Course_7.ppt

8 Terminology Moving Target Indicator (MTI) Techniques Just separate moving targets from clutter Use short waveforms (two or three pulses) Do not provide target velocity estimation Pulsed Doppler (PD) Techniques Separate targets into different velocity regimes in addition to canceling clutter Provide good estimates of target velocity Use long waveforms -- (many pulses, tens to thousands of pulses) Radar Course_8.ppt

9 Doppler Frequency Doppler Frequency (Hz) GHz 10 GHz 3 GHz 450 MHz 150 MHz At S-Band (2800 MHz) f d ~ 1 khz / 40 m/s Doppler Frequency f d V = 2 λ Radar Course_9.ppt Radial Velocity (m/s)

10 Example Clutter Spectra Relative Power (db) Land Clutter Sea Clutter Rain Clutter Chaff Clutter Birds Radial Velocity (m/s) Clutter comes from same range/angle cell as a target Clutter RCS can be much larger than targets of interest (>50 db) Characteristics vary with terrain (land/sea), weather, etc. Aircraft PPI Display of Heavy Rain Radar Course_10.ppt

11 MTI and Pulse Doppler Waveforms T c = MT r T r T T = Pulse length B = 1/T Bandwidth Time T r = Pulse repetition interval (PRI) f r = 1/T r Pulse repetition frequency (PRF) δ = T /T r Duty Factor T c = MT r Coherent processing interval (CPI) M = Number of pulses in the CPI M = 2, 3, or sometimes 4 for MTI M usually much greater for Pulse Doppler Radar Course_11.ppt

13 Outline Introduction Moving Target Indicator (MTI) Techniques Pulse Doppler Processing Techniques Summary Radar Course_13.ppt

14 Moving Target Indicator (MTI) Processing Notch out Doppler spectrum occupied by clutter Provide broad Doppler passband everywhere else Blind speeds occur at multiples of the pulse repetition frequency When sample frequency (PRF) equals a multiple of the Doppler frequency Clutter Notch Blind Speeds MTI Filter Clutter Spectrum 0 f r = 1/T 2f r Radar Course_14.ppt

15 Fixed Clutter echoes Two Pulse MTI Canceller 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 Block Diagram Input Delay T r =1/PRF Subtract Output Radar Course_15.ppt V output = V i+1 -V i Figure by MIT OCW.

16 MTI Improvement Factor Relative Power (db) S in and C in - Input target and clutter power per pulse S out (f d ) and C out (f d ) Output target and clutter power from processor at Doppler frequency, f d (Signal / Clutter) MTI Improvement Factor = I(f d ) = out (Signal / Clutter) in Radar Course_16.ppt Land Clutter Rain Clutter Aircraft Radial Velocity (m/s) MTI Improvement Factor C in C out I(f d ) = x Clutter Attenuation S out S in f d Signal Gain f d

17 MTI Improvement Factor Examples 2-Pulse MTI Spread Clutter (σ v =1 m/s, σ c =10 Hz ) 2 Pulse MTI 3 Pulse MTI V output = V i -V i-1 3-Pulse MTI V output = V i -2V i-1 + V i-2 Improvement Factor (db) Frequency = 2800 MHz CNR = 50 db per pulse f d = 1000 Hz Doppler Frequency (Hz) Three-pulse canceller provides wider clutter notch and greater clutter attenuation Radar Course_17.ppt

18 Staggered PRFs to Increase Blind Speed MTI Frequency Response SNR Relative to Single Pulse (db) Radial Velocity (m/s) Radial Velocity (m/s) Radar Course_18.ppt HGT 03/04/98 Fixed 2 khz PRI at S-Band Staggered 2 khz, khz PRI Staggering or changing the time between pulses will raise the blind speed Although the staggered PRF s remove the blind speeds that would have been obtained with a constant PRF, there will be a new much higher blind speed

25 Doppler Ambiguities Pulse Doppler waveform samples target with sampling rate = PRF Sampling causes aliasing at multiples of PRF Two targets with Doppler frequencies separated by an integer multiple of the PRF are indistinguishable Unambiguous velocity Radar Course_25.ppt V u f = λ r 2 Sample Times Stationary V=0 Moving V=V u Moving V=3V u Time / PRI

26 Range Ambiguities Target 1 Target 2 R 1 R 2 = R 1 + R u True Range Radar Range Unambiguous range Range ambiguities occur when echoes from one pulse are not all received before the next pulse Strong close targets (clutter) can mask far weak targets R u = ct r 2 Radar Course_26.ppt

28 Sensitivity Time Control (STC) Deliberately reduce radar sensitivity at short ranges Why? Both Targets Give Returns with Same Signal-to-Noise ratio -64 dbsm Mosquito at 5 km 0 dbsm Aircraft at 200 km Attenuation of radar return by R -4 will result in constant SNR as a function of range for a constant cross section target STC cannot be used if the radar s waveform is ambiguous in range Targets which are beyond the ambiguous range of the radar will be attenuated, because they folded over to close ranges Radar Course_28.ppt HGT 03/04/98

29 Classes of MTI and Pulse Doppler Radars Low PRF Medium PRF High PRF Range Measurement Unambiguous Ambiguous Very Ambiguous Velocity Measurement Very Ambiguous Ambiguous Unambiguous Low PRF Medium PRF High PRF Wind blown clutter may be a problem Can use STC Wind blown clutter may be a problem Range eclipsing losses Far out targets compete with near in clutter Can t use STC Ambiguities hardest to remove Range eclipsing losses Far out targets compete with near in clutter Can t use STC Radar Course_29.ppt

35 Displaced Phase Center Antenna (DPCA) Concept T 1 T 2 If the aircraft motion is exactly compensated by the movement of the phase center of the antenna beam, then there will be no clutter spread due to aircraft motion, and the clutter can be cancelled with a two pulse canceller _2.ppt RMO Radar Course_35.ppt

36 Summary Moving Target Indicator (MTI) techniques Radar Course_36.ppt Doppler filtering techniques that reject stationary clutter No velocity measurement Blind speeds are regions of Doppler space where targets with that Doppler velocity cannot be detected Changing the PRF between sets of pulses can alleviate the blind speed problem MTI techniques have a limited capability to suppress rain clutter Pulse Doppler techniques Used to optimally reject various forms of radar clutter Measurement of target radial velocity Moving Target Detector techniques are an example of optimum Doppler processing and associated adaptive thresholding Ambiguities in range and Doppler velocity can be resolved by transmitting multiple bursts of pulses with different PRF s Airborne radars use multiple PRF waveforms to suppress clutter
