Abstract
A radar system including an azimuthally scanned radar wherein the radar receives echo signals during each of a succession of azimuthally scanned directions of the radar receiving beam. Sequences of samples of data of received echo signals are stored with sets of samples relating to a common range being utilized for developing weighting factors for weighting received echo signals as a function of range. Thereby, dynamic fluctuations in signals strength because of clutter are reduced.
