MTI and Pulse Doppler Radar Guide

This document discusses Moving Target Indicator (MTI) radar technology. It explains that MTI radar can detect moving objects by removing clutter through techniques like MTI filtering and pulse cancellation. However, MTI radar cannot estimate a target's velocity. In contrast, pulse Doppler radar can separate moving targets from clutter using a Doppler filter bank and measure target velocity by coherently processing more pulses compared to MTI radar. The document provides details on MTI filtering operations and issues like blind speed that can occur with MTI systems.

Blind speed

Blind speed occur when PRF equals the doppler frequency of target

Target Spectrum

11

Staggered PRF

Using multiple PRFs allows targets, whose radial velocity corresponds to the blind speed at 1 PRF to be detected at another PRF PRF, Use of staggered PRFs does not allow MTI cancellation of 2nd time around clutter
