Abstract

A two-parameter clutter map for storing two variables for every spatial location in order to define both the intensity of the interference and the fluctuation characteristics of the interference from scan-to-scan. The two variables are obtained by processing input data from an integrator in two n-pole integrators having different orders. The ratio of the two variables or their difference in logarithmic form is employed as a measure of the scan-to-scan fluctuation characteristics. An option to control alarms and the leading edge of moving rain storms is also provided.
