Abstract

Building on the earlier success of using twin inverted pulses to supress bubble scatter and so reduce clutter when detecting targets in bubbly water (proven in ship wakes in field trials), the same nonlinear processing scheme is generalized to make use of dolphin-like pulses. Their performance in reducing clutter and enhancing target discrimination is demonstrated in the laboratory, and the opportunities for using the same scheme to improve the detection of hidden electronic devices or semiconductor devices by radar are discussed.
