  • Abstract
    The losses due to the statistical error inherent in estimating the mean clutter velocity by averaging over a limited number of range cells are derived. These results show that an accepted intuitive approach leads to a significant underestimation of the number of range cells required. Suggestions are made for reducing these losses.
