A new clutter suppression technique that uses both Doppler and polarimetric information is presented. Polarimetric properties of the target and clutter are calculated per Doppler frequency cell and based on this information clutter suppression is performed. This new clutter suppression technique is demonstrated with radar measurements of precipitation made by the Delft atmospheric research radar (DARR).
