Abstract :
The detection performance of a nonrecursive quadrature-channel MTI filter in Rayleigh and log-normal clutter is examined from a detection loss viewpoint. A formula is provided for detection loss in Rayleigh clutter whereas curves are provided for typical situations in log-normal clutter.
