Airborne fire control radars using medium pulse repetition
frequency (PRF) waveforms are required to maintain good
target detectability in various clutter scenes. This paper
describes work to optimise PRF values of 3 of 8 medium
PRF schedules in varying clutter scenes in order to achieve
optimal target detectability. To this end, the detectability
map is introduced as a means of illustrating and quantifying
target detectability over the full Range/Doppler space of
interest. The paper concludes that optimised PRF sets achieve similar detectability performances irrespective of the
clutter scene.
