Abstract

The device for the elimination of intermediate frequency echoes from fixed targets carries out the cancellation of the echoes from the fixed targets by the storage, in the form of amplitude and phase samples, of the response to the first pulse of a burst reduced to video band, the synthesis on the basis of these samples of an intermediate frequency replica of the response to the first pulse of a burst and the subtraction of the synthesized replica from each of the subsequent pulses of the burst. It is of the double cancellation type, the preparation of the replica being done in two steps, a first rough-working step in which a rough replica is prepared and a second refining step in which the modelling error of the rough replica is taken into account.
