The main objective of this chapter is to describe how an airborne pulse-Doppler radar isolates targets of interest from clutter and measures target range and velocity. Related topics such as pulse compression, automatic detection, target tracking, and target and clutter statistics are described. The intent is to present basic principles and concepts. Although some of the approximations used sacrifice generality and rigor for the sake of clarity, they are otherwise fairly accurate for most conditions of interest.
