Abstract :
A radar modeling and simulation tool known as RLSTAP is used to model a bistatic clutter tuning scenario. The transmit system and the receive system “circle” the ground patch where the target lies in opposite senses so the Doppler shift due to the motion of the transmit (Tx) system is cancelled by an equal and opposite Doppler shift due to the motion of the receive (Rx) system. Key results are presented for this case, as well as for various imperfect clutter tuning cases and a monostatic case
