where Pin and Pout are the power of the clutter at the input
and output of the notch filter, respectively. This coefficient
shows the noise suppression but doesnt show what
happens with useful signal. The improvement factor
quantifies the increase in SNR:

where (Ps /Pn )in and (Ps /Pn )out are the SNR at input and

The improvement factor Kimp can represent fully the
efficiency of the MTI system because it gives us not only
information about noise suppression, but also information
concerning useful signal. The simulation of the influence

Yuriy V. Goncharenko (S03M08) received the B.S. and M.S. degrees from the
Kharkov National Polytechnic University, Kharkov, Ukraine, in 1998 and 1999,
respectively, and the PhD in radiophysics from the Institute for Radiophysics and
Electronic NAS of Ukraine, Kharkov, in 2006.
For 1999 to 2000 he worked at the Institute of Ionosphere, Kharkov. In 2000 he
joined the Institute for Radiophysics and Electronic NAS of Ukraine, where he
developed algorithms for microwave remote sensing of sea surface and different types
of land cover. In 2012 he joined the Applied Physics Laboratory at the University of
Washington as Fulbright scholar and implements airborne synthetic aperture radars for
remote sensing of sea surface.
Gordon Farquharson (S01M05) received the B.S. (Eng.) and M.S. (Eng.) degrees
from the University of Cape Town, Cape Town, South Africa, in 1996 and 1999
respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of
Massachusetts, Amherst, in 2005.
From 2004 to 2009, he worked at the National Center for Atmospheric Research,
Boulder, CO where he developed microwave and millimeter-wave remote sensing
radars for atmospheric research. In 2009, he joined the Applied Physics Laboratory at
the University of Washington, where he develops and uses microwave radar systems for
ocean remote sensing. He is also an Affiliated Assistant Professor in the Electrical
Engineering Department, where he teaches and supervises students.

Volodimir Gorobets received the M.S. degree in electrical engineering in 1976 from
the Kharkov Aviation Institute and the Ph.D. in radiophysics in 2006 from the Institute
for Radiophysics and Electronic NAS of Ukraine, Kharkov.
His current field of research is investigations of cm and mm radiowave
backscattering from sea surface.
Viktor Gutnik received the M.S. degree in radio engineering in 1971 from Kharkov
Polytechnic Institute and the Ph.D. degree in radiophysics from the Institute for
Radiophysics and Electronic NAS of Ukraine, Kharkov in 2001.
In 1998 he joined the Institute of Radio Astronomy, Kharkov, Ukraine.
Yuriy A. Tsarin (M07) received his M.S. (with distinction) and Ph.D. degrees in radio
physics from Kharkov State University in 1991 and 1998, respectively.
From the time of his masters graduation he has been almost continuously with the
Institute of Radio Astronomy, Kharkov, Ukraine in various positions - from PhD
student to Head of the Telecommunication Technologies Lab (since 2007). He was a
visiting scientist in TU Hamburg-Harburg in 1996-1997. He was employed in industry
as a radar developer in 2001-2002 in Illinois, USA. His research interests include
nonlinear dynamics, electromagnetic theory, and high-performance computing.
Dr. Tsarin is a member of the Ukrainian Physical Society.
