Characteristics of Land Clutter Signals and Their Synthesis Methods

Abstract

Clutter signals are undesired for radar detection. Clutter signals can be categorized as volume, land, and sea clutter. These unwanted signals disturb radar by detecting the target. To increase detection accuracy, the radar must be able to differentiate clutter signals from the target and remove cluttering signals. Therefore, it is important to understand the characteristics of clutter signals. In this paper, we review the characteristics of land clutter signals and the methods used to generate them.
