Noise and clutter rejection in radars and imaging sensors; Proceedings of the International Symposium, Tokyo, Japan, October 22-24, 1984

Advanced techniques and systems for image processing and information extraction are considered along with subsurface radars, the polarization and statistical properties of clutter, characteristics of clutter properties, medical and acoustic imaging, remote sensing, radar signal processing, image processing, tracking techniques, antennas, and the imaging radar. Radar systems are discussed, taking into account radar image processing for surface aircraft recognition, clutter suppression in air traffic control radars, the Time Reference Scanning Beam (TRSB) Microwave Landing System (MLS) modelling and analysis in multipath environment, echo enhancement for a marine radar by new display techniques, compact FSK signals for radar clutter rejection, an energy efficient synthesis of an ambiguity surface, and experimental results on discrimination of radar signals by polarization. Attention is given to fast-scan processing in maritime surveillance radar, a distributed digital processing architecture for adaptive suppression of radar clutter and interference, and the noise properties of generators.
