Abstract

Traditional analysis of airborne side-lobe clutter and main-lobe clutter radar usually assumes the ideal condition of statistically independent data. A method for the side-lobe clutter simulation and analysis of the moving clutter Doppler shift due to the moving radar platform is presented for the airborne pulsed Doppler radar in this paper. We analyzed the side-lobe clutter power spectrum in different aircraft velocity, also researched the impact of the antenna azimuth angle. The simulation results manifest that the proposed the method of the side-lobe clutter power spectral is reliable and apt to accurately shape the clutter spectrum tied up with specific airborne in practical clutter environments.
