The performance of an adaptive moving target indicator (MTI), which employs a Wiener predictor by means of a transversal filter, is discussed, taking into consideration the effect of the form of the clutter covariance matrix on the MTI performance. It is emphasized that the main tap position in the transversal filter is an important factor which provides degrees of freedom in the clutter covariance matrix to improve the MTI performance. Calculation results show that by exploiting these degrees of freedom, excellent performance is feasible, in particular shorter transient response.
