Practice question
How does a Moving Target Indicator (MTI) system suppress ground clutter (such as buildings and hills) on a primary radar display?
- By filtering out returned signals that exhibit no phase/Doppler frequency shift over successive pulses.
- By reducing the transmitter power output when scanning near the horizon.
- By manually masking out fixed areas of the screen where hills are known to exist.
- By rejecting signals that have a weak signal-to-noise ratio.
Answer: A — By filtering out returned signals that exhibit no phase/Doppler frequency shift over successive pulses.
