With the continuous advancement of electronic technology, terahertz technology has gradually been applied on radar. Since short wavelength causes severe ground clutter, this paper studies the amplitude distribution statistical characteristics of the terahertz radar clutter based on the measured data, and provides technical support for the radar clutter suppression. Clutter distribution is the function of the radar glancing angle. In order to achieve targeted suppression, in this paper, selected axial integral bispectrum (selected AIB) feature is selected as deep belief network (DBN)input to complete the radar glancing angle recognition and the network structure, network training method, robustness are analyzed also. The ground clutter amplitude distribution can follow normal distribution at 0~45° grazing angles. The Weibull distribution and G0 distribution can describe the amplitude probability density function of ground clutter at grazing angles 85° and 65°. The recognition rate of different signal grazing angles can reach 91% on three different terrains. At the same time, the wide applicability of the selected AIB feature is verified. The analysis results of ground clutter amplitude characteristics play an important role in the suppression of radar ground clutter.

Summary: Modern radar techniques have found wide application in the fields of aeronautics and guided missiles and to make full use of these techniques the designer of modern aircraft and missile systems requires a knowledge of the basic radar principles. This paper is an introduction to these principles. Four main functions of radar are discussed, namely the detection of objects in the beam, measurement of range, information on direction, and the use of the doppler principle to measure velocity and to distinguish moving objects. The discussion is confined to primary or self-contained radars although the principles are applicable to navigation aids such as Gee and Loran. The paper concludes with a brief description of the radome problem.
