Characteristics of sea clutter measured from E-3A high radar platform
Abstract
Backscatter data was taken using a developmental Airborne Warning and Control System radar, now known as the AN/APY-1. Clutter statistics for its operating frequency, clutter patch size, and grazing angle were not found in the available literature. Therefore this experiment was done to determine the clutter statistics for use in the design of a production system. Data acquisition used a digital recording system and processing was done automatically using a ground based computer.
