  • Abstract
    This paper examines the 50-year old problem of the properties of the optimum “waveform-mismatched filter” pair. In particular, it is demonstrated that the conjecture made in [5], [6] that for an arbitrary area in the range-Doppler frequency plane occupied by clutter, the optimum waveform calculated for one target Doppler frequency is also optimum for other target Doppler frequencies, is in general not correct.
