TLDR
In this article, the performance of a space-based radar (SBR) using pulse Doppler to suppress the earth clutter is investigated using a heuristic description of clutter as seen from a SBR.Abstract:
The paper presents some general principles related to the performance of a space-based radar (SBR) using pulse Doppler to suppress the earth clutter These principles are developed using a heuristic description of clutter as seen from a space-based radar, and illustrated by means of a case study It is demonstrated that SBR performance varies with look direction and that clear areas exist in the clutter spectrum, where targets can be easily detected Also, velocity compensation techniques can be employed to enhance detection for certain look directionsread more

Selected list of references on radar signal processing
TL;DR: In this article, the authors collected almost 700 references in a single document to facilitate their work and the work of other colleagues of the radar community, and the collection of references is by no means exhaustive; the period of screening mainly covers the last two decades.

Effect of earth's rotation and range foldover on space-based radar performance
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the rotation of the Earth around its own axis on the Doppler frequency is investigated and a detailed performance analysis and methods to minimize these effects are discussed.

Design of a space-based radar signal processor
TL;DR: The algorithmic definitions of the signalprocessing functions are provided; the relationships between these functions and the reasons for their location in the signal processing chain are discussed and techniques for reducing the computational requirements are presented.

An approach to multistatic spaceborne SAR/MTI processing and performance analysis
TL;DR: A sub-optimum approach for multistatic spaceborne moving target detection based on the exploitation of the covariance matrix describing the common statistical properties of the random vector composed of a selected number of resolution cells in the range-Doppler-space for all sensor channels is proposed.

Principles of high-resolution radar
TL;DR: In this paper, a re-lease of the classic 1969 text examines step-by-step the development of radar resolution theory, including the capabilities and limits of radar and the details of radar design.
