Abstract
Moving target indication (MTI) using radar is of great interest in civil and military applications. Its uses include airborne or space-borne surveillance of ground moving vehicles (cars, trains) or ships at sea, for instance. Airborne (space-borne) radar offers several advantages when compared to optical imaging, they include: day-and-night, all-weather capability and a possibly greater potential in resolving moving objects in a stationary scene. Recent systems utilise single-channel radars to produce fine-resolution images of stationary scenes by means of the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and multi-channel arrays to achieve the best possible separation of moving objects from the stationary ones. This technology is currently employed in airborne military and experimental systems such as SOSTAR-X (European), PAMIR (Germany) and MCARM (USA). Also, the Canadian satellite RADARSAT-2 has a special multi-channel mode for radar MTI. etc
