An Introduction to Radar Sliding Window Detectors
نویسنده
چکیده
An introduction to the theory of sliding window detection processes, used as alternatives to optimal Neyman-Pearson based radar detectors, is presented. Included is an outline of their historical development, together with an explanation for the resurgence of interest in such detectors for operation in modern maritime surveillance radar clutter. In particular, recent research has developed criteria that enables one to construct such detection processes with the desired constant false alarm rate property for a comprehensive class of clutter model. The chapter also includes some examples of the performance of such detectors in a specific interference environment.

Evaluating the state probabilities of M out of N sliding window detectors
The term M out of N sliding window detectors refers to processes that determine whether there have been M successes in a sequence of N binary trials, where the window (of N trials under examination) slides along a possibly M t e sequence stopping when the criterion (of M successes in N successive trials) is met. They are frequently used to model the operators of naval surveillance systems such ...

In this paper, radar detection based on Monte Carlo sampling is studied. Two detectors based on Importance Sampling are presented. In these detectors, called Particle Detector, the approximated likelihood ratio is calculated by Monte Carlo sampling. In the first detector, the unknown parameters are first estimated and are substituted in the likelihood ratio (like the GLRT method). In the sec...
متن کاملRadar Signal Detection in K-distributed Clutter by Pade Approximation
In this paper, two suboptimum detectors are proposed for coherent radar signal detection in K-distributed clutter. Assuming certain values for several initial moments of clutter amplitude, the characteristic function of the clutter amplitude is approximated by a limited series. Using the Pade approximation, it is then converted to a rational fraction. Thus, the pdf of the clutter amplitude is o...

The United States is in the process of commissioning new consolidated Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) facilities to serve large complex terminal areas. In addition to receiving surveillance data from radars formerly serving each individual TRACON, the consolidated TRACON facilities will receive surveillance data from all available sensors in the area including long-range en route radar...
