Radar clutter is a radar return from an object or objects that is of no interest to the radar mission. For example, the mission of many radar systems is the detection and tracking of targets such as aircraft, ships, or ground vehicles. To these systems, clutter is considered to be an interfering return from a natural object such as precipitation, vegetation, soil and rocks, or the sea. However, to radars designed for remote sensing such as synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagers, these objects may be the primary targets of interest. For this chapter, it will be assumed that targets of interest are man-made while natural target returns are unwanted (i.e., clutter).
