Antenna Requirements for GMTI Radar Systems
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
A principal performance-enabling, or performance-limiting, component of Ground-Moving-Target-Indication (GMTI) radar systems is the antenna. Undesired clutter leakage into antenna sidelobes can be particularly problematic, generating undesired false alarms. GMTI system antennas can be designed with characteristics and features to allow discriminating and depressing/suppressing problematic sidelobe leakage of clutter and other undesired signals. We offer analysis and design guidelines for doing so.
