In this chapter, we will take a closer look at medium PRF operation. We will see what must be done to separate targets from clutter and how the signal processing is performed. We will then take up the problems of rejecting ground moving targets, eliminating blind zones, minimizing sidelobe clutter, and rejecting sidelobe return from those targets on the ground which have exceptionally large radar cross sections.
