Low level surveillance radar design

Radar design methodology is described in this paper which emphasizes the importance of clutter and interference suppression for modern radar systems. The technique involved does not use the usual method of relying upon one subsystem to eliminate clutter and interference, but takes advantage of the strength of various subsystems to eliminate clutter and interference. This method allows clutter and interference suppression to be 'designed in' rather than 'added on', thereby maximizing the radar's resources for target detection and tracking.
