RADAR PERFORMANCE STUDIES OF ADAPTIVE LATTICE CLUTTER-SUPPRESSION FILTERS.

The paper describes the use of a prediction-error filter (realized in the form of an adaptive lattice filter) for enhancing the detection of a moving target (for example aircraft and migrating flocks of birds) in the presence of clutter. This process is suited for a surveillance radar environment (for example air-traffic control). The clutter may arise owing to reflections from ground and weather disturbances. Experimental results are included, …
