The maximum entropy method applied to the spectral analysis of radar clutter
Abstract
A brief review of the maximum entropy method for spectral analysis of complex signals is presented. It is shown that, for the spectral analysis of radar clutter, reliable short-term spectral estimates can be obtained with a small number of data points, while keeping a good resolution capability.
