Abstract:

The application requirements of marine surveillance radar for counter-smuggling are summarized in this paper.The operating frequency,data rate,and a solution to the transmitter,receiver and antenna & feed subsystem are discussed.Some decisive factors,such as correlation and intensity of sea clutter,are analyzed.An applicable approach to clutter suppression for this radar is proposed and validated with simulation of S/C.

Key words: marine surveillance radar;clutter suppression;operating frequency
