Zusammenfassung:The ability to suppress range ambiguous clutter is difficult for forward-looking arrays in GHTI processing. Use of linear frequency diverse array (FDA) is proposed, whereby each array channel operates at a different frequency and produces a range dependent pattern. The FDA significantly increases output signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR) at the range ambiguous clutter Doppler, suggesting detection improvement. Output SINR is shown to increase by as much as 40dB when compared to a constant frequency array.
