clutter. A processor mitigates a clutter cloud in a reflected radar
signal, the clutter cloud having a velocity growth rate. The processor
includes an input for receiving a reflected radar signal, a delay line
having a plurality of moving target indicator (MTI) Doppler filters,
and an output connected in circuit with the plurality of MTI Doppler
filters. The delay line covers a Doppler frequency range corresponding
to the velocity growth rate of the clutter cloud. The reflected radar
signal passes through the delay line to mitigate a portion of the
reflected radar signal that is reflected by the clutter cloud from the reflected radar signal.
