Improving Neural Detectors for Slow Fluctuating Radar Targets
نویسنده
چکیده
– Slow fluctuating radar targets have shown to be very difficult to classify using neural networks. This paper deals with the application of time-frequency decompositions for improving the performance of neural networks for this kind of targets. Several aspects, such as dimensionality reduction of the timefrequency representations and the optimum value of SNR for training are discussed. The proposed detector is compared with a single neural network for radar detection, showing that time-frequency decompositions improve the performance of neural networks for slow fluctuating radar targets detection, specially for low values of the probability of false alarm. Key-Words: Neural network, radar, detection, PCA, time-frequency analysis.

Target Multiplicity Performance Analysis of Radar CFAR Detection Techniques for Partially Correlated Chi-Square Targets
Most radar targets are complex objects and produce a wide variety of reflections. An important class of targets is represented by the so-called moderately fluctuating Rayleigh targets, which, when illuminated by a coherent pulse train, return a train of correlated pulses with a correlation coefficient in the range 0 < ρ< 1 (intermediate between SWII and SWI models). The detection of this type o...

Abstract: Space-Time Adaptive Processing (STAP) is used in Ground Moving Target Indication (GMTI) to improve the detection of slow or small targets and targets in the presence of jamming. It is used in a number of airborne radar surveillance systems. In order for STAP to be robustly used as part of a practical military sensor it must deliver robust detection performance in all scenarios. In thi...
