-An example of the effect of limiting is shown in the Figure, which plots the improvement factor for two-pulse and three-pulse cancelers within various levels of limiting. The abscissa applies to a Gaussian clutter spectrum that is generated either by clutter motion with standard deviation $ σ_v$, at a wavelength $λ$ and a prf $f_p $, or by antenna scanning modulation with a Gaussian-shaped beam and $n_B$ pulses between the half-power beamwidth of the one-way antenna pattern. The parameter $C/L$ is the ratio of the RMS clutter power to the receiver-IF limit level.+An example of the effect of limiting is shown in the $Fig.47$, which plots the improvement factor for two-pulse and three-pulse cancelers within various levels of limiting.

-Thus the added complexity of higher-order cancelers is seldom justified in such situations. The linear analysis of MTI signal processors is therefore not adequate when limiting & employed and can lead to disappointing differences between theory and measurement of actual systems.+Thus the added complexity of higher-order cancelers is not often justified in such situations.

 +The output of the receiver is a signal, which contains the required target plus various forms of noise and clutter. In the case of the MTI output, this clutter residue is the result of imperfect cancellation due to various factors such as equipment instability, antenna modulation, lack of dynamic range or Doppler content within the clutter itself. The detection process separates the required target from the noise and clutter. Detectors are normally designed to carry out this process with a constant false alarm rate (CFAR).
 +
 +The diagram shows the location of the detector in the chain of signal processing. This device forms the information on a point like target as a digital report. The up to this point existing information about the analog value (or digital description of) of the received power in a particular binary cell will be transformed to information about the coordinates of a target. The value of the power is included in this report mostly.
 +
 +The important procedure is, that up to this point all binary cells (containing the received power) must be processed. After the detector exist only reports about selected binary cells. However, there may exist several reports about a single target, generated by adjacent binary cells. This will processed in the next device.
