Abstract :
Computation of the entire clutter spectrum for Doppler radar has been reduced to a few simple formulas, by integration of reflected energy between constant Doppler loci, using the fourth power range law. The results are widely applicable, and have been found in agreement with both flight tests and a computer program study.
