Abstract : This research explores the optimization of moving target indication (MTI) systems in contemporary radar technology. We want to increase radar system performance by using improvements like step-scan antennas and digital signal processing. Despite these developments, obsolete CPU architecture prevents MTI systems from reaching their full potential. To overcome this, we present unique design techniques that are suitable for both staggered and unstaggered Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF) setups. These techniques focus MTI performance while reducing processor response variances at various target speeds. Specialized processor designs, including techniques such as simplex approaches and simultaneous linear equation solving, are being developed to improve response uniformity, particularly in unstaggered PRF configurations. We hope to enable radar systems for a wide range of operating conditions by thoroughly investigating MTI concepts, tactics for minimizing obstacles such as the blind speed problem, and optimization methodologies

Keywords : Adaptive Moving Target Indication (AMTI), MTI Processors, Blind Speeds, Staggered PRF, Unstaggered PRF, Doppler Frequency, Single Delay Line Canceller.
