Abstract

A method of operating a pulse Doppler radar to increase the probability of detection of an airborne target is shown to consist of transmitting interrogating pulses with a high pulse repetition frequency and processing received signals using any conventional pulse Doppler technique for echo signals having a Doppler shift frequency outside the spectrum of Doppler shift frequencies of clutter and using a DPCA technique at a submultiple of the pulse repetition frequency for echo signals having a Doppler shift frequency within the spectrum of Doppler shift frequencies of clutter.
