The radar in the moving platform is interfered by the mainlobe clutter as well as the altitude clutter that is received from sidelobe. The altitude clutter is relatively short range compared to mainlobe clutter and therefore enters the radar with a strong signal. As these clutters are major reason making the probability of false alarm high, it is required to suppress both altitude clutter and mainlobe clutter. In this paper, It is proposed the clutter suppression method consisted of two pulse canceller to suppress the clutters being two frequency area in moving platform. It is analyzed the correlation of output signals according to the use of pulse canceller and provided the structure of staggered pulse canceller considered the correlation. Finally, it shows that altitude clutter and mainlobe clutter are suppressed by proposed staggered pulse canceller using the simulation.
