• A radar clutter profile is a function that indicates clutter magnitude at any given distance. As perceived by the radar, the effective clutter magnitude is also influenced by clutter distance itself. For a variety of performance and cost reasons, a simple direct calculation of clutter is not used in clutter simulation. Instead it is necessary to determine a partially processed version of radar clutter to be inserted into the simulation at an appropriate point. Although this can increase coding complexity, this can improve performance. The details are proprietary, but I did manage to make an improvement while recoding the algorithm.
