CFAR adaptive threshold for ESM receiver with logarithmic amplification
نویسندگان
چکیده
An adaptive threshold with constant false alarm rate (CFAR) property is proposed to be used in a channelized electronic support measures (ESM) system with logarithmic video ampli'cation. For this purpose, two CFAR processors are designed which are in fact modi'ed excision (MEx) and adaptive MEx (AMEx) processors, previously presented by authors, but modi'ed for the logarithmic ampli'cation case. In the case of relatively small variations in the noise power, MEx-LOG/CFAR is proposed. This processor exhibits a good robustness against interfering pulses, which cause the major di8culty in the estimation of noise statistics. In the case of relatively large variations in the noise power, AMEx-LOG/CFAR processor is proposed. Thanks to a feedback loop in its structure, this processor can easily adapt itself with any change in the background noise power to assure the CFAR property and false alarm rate regulation. Furthermore, in the steady state (constant noise power), its detection performance is independent of the noise power. Methods to determine the design parameters of the proposed processors are discussed, and their performance analysis is studied using Monte Carlo simulations. ? 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Detection Capability and CFAR Loss Under Fluctuating Targets of Different Swerling Model for Various Gamma Parameters in RADAR
Target detection of RADAR deals with different and manifold problems over few decades. The detection capability is one of the most significant factors in RADAR system. The main aim of detection is to increase probability of detection while decreasing rate of false alarm. The threshold of detection is modified as a function of the receiver noise level to keep a fixed rate of false alarm. Constan...

0018-9251/00/$10.00 @ 2000 IEEE Use of a fixed threshold for the detection of radar signals results either in a degradation in the detection performance or an excessive increase in the FAR (false alarm rate), as a consequence of the variation in the background noise power. Therefore, using an adaptive threshold with the CFAR (constant FAR) property is unavoidable in most radar and automatic det...
