Abstract

A radar system includes an antenna. The radar system comprises a processor for providing an error in ground speed estimate based upon Doppler velocity data, and a transmitter. The frequency of radar signals from the transmitter is adjusted according to a velocity of the aircraft calculated using the error in ground speed estimate or using the error in ground speed estimate. The adjusted frequency can allow ground clutter to be removed by high pass filtering in one embodiment.
