Sensitivity Time Control

Sensitivity Time Control

Sensitivity Time Control (STC) is used to attenuate the very strong signals returned from nearby ground clutter targets in the first few range gates of a Radar receiver. Without this signal attenuation, the receiver would routinely saturate due to the strong signals.
