Based on the author's primary research, the focus of this book is on giving a systematic introduction to airborne MTI radar design for use in the fields of earth observation, surveillance and reconnaissance, with particular regard to the suppression of clutter returns. Coverage includes signal processing techniques, modelling, adaptive clutter filters, suboptimum techniques, antenna configurations, jamming, channel errors and system applications, including sonar. Each chapter is supported by summary material and an extensive bibliography.
