clutter. A processor mitigates a clutter cloud in a reflected radar 
signal, the clutter cloud having a velocity growth rate. The processor 
includes an input for receiving a reflected radar signal, a delay line 
having a plurality of moving target indicator (MTI) Doppler filters, 
and an output connected in circuit with the plurality of MTI Doppler 
filters. The delay line covers a Doppler frequency range corresponding 
to the velocity growth rate of the clutter cloud. The reflected radar 
signal passes through the delay line to mitigate a portion of the 
reflected radar signal that is reflected by the clutter cloud from the 
reflected radar signal.
