This paper investigates the performance of multiple approaches, including maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), for determining the Doppler frequency of radar returns from clutter scatterers. Fields backscattered from clutter are modeled as a complex stationary random process with a specified temporal correlation function received in the presence of additive thermal noise at a specified clutter-to-noise ratio. The MLE implementation is formulated, and its results are then compared through a simulation study to those obtained from traditional pulse-pair processing and other fast Fourier transform based methods in terms of error statistics and computational complexity. The methods are also compared for measurements of sea clutter from an X-band radar system. The results of the study show that the MLE approach has modest advantages over other methods in certain conditions, but that the performance gains obtained may often be insufficient to justify the extra computational cost or a-priori knowledge requirements of the method.
