Information on Radar Receiver Techniques

Radar clutter is a major practical problem in the use of radar systems. Radar receivers often incorporate special techniques to to minimise clutter.
     Some of these receiver designs are apparent to the operators of radar systems in the form of switches on the receiver consoles. In some modern radar systems, however, a lot of the processing occurs "behind the scenes" as the radar receiver selects the most appropriate way of dealing with a given situation.
     Some important radar receiver design techniques are:
    

  • sensitivity time control (STC)

    •     
  • instant automatic gain control (IAGC)

    •     
  • logarithmic fast time constant (Log FTC)
