configurations. Methods include h<strong>and</strong> calculations, PSPICE simulations, Microstripes transient field solver, <strong>and</strong> empirical<br />

measurement. In total, four representative physical configurations are examined, including a single wire over a ground plane,<br />

a twisted pair over a ground plane, generator plus receptor wires inside a cylindrical conduit, <strong>and</strong> a single receptor wire inside<br />

a cylindrical conduit. Part 1 addresses the first two cases, <strong>and</strong> Part 2 addresses the final two. Agreement between the analysis<br />

methods <strong>and</strong> test data is shown to be very good.<br />

A wideb<strong>and</strong> signal occupies a finite b<strong>and</strong>width that is significant compared to its carrier frequency. As a result, when<br />

transmitted, its returns cause b<strong>and</strong>width dispersion across the antenna. It is shown here that the effect of the finite b<strong>and</strong>width<br />

is to introduce a set of uncorrelated return signals for every physical scatter in the field. Further, each such uncorrelated return<br />

contains a set of coherent signals with different directional <strong>and</strong> Doppler components that result from a jittering effect both in<br />

angle <strong>and</strong> Doppler domain. As a result, adaptive clutter cancellation using traditional processing schemes does not work well.<br />

Although in principle it is possible to correct these decorrelating effects by 3D spacetime adaptive processing (STAP), the<br />

present day methods are quite costly <strong>and</strong> difficult to implement. In addition to the new wide b<strong>and</strong> signal modeling framework<br />

mentioned above, we outline a hierarchical processing scheme which has the potential for dramatically reducing both<br />

processing <strong>and</strong> sample support burdens.<br />
