Abstract: | The effect of transmitting timing jitter and sampling jitter on a multipulse clutter cancellation system is analyzed, and explicit expressions are obtained for the net increase in the residue clutter power due to timing jitter. The increase in mean-square error is found to be proportional to the jitter variance, with the two jitters contributing almost equally. The system analyzed can have either a recursive or nonrecursive MTI filter, and the latter includes the familiar two- and three-pulse canceller as special cases. The increase in residue clutter power for a three-pulse canceller is about 4.8 dB worse than that for a two-pulse canceller |
