Nonhomogeneity Detection in CFAR Reference Windows Using the Mean-to-Mean Ratio Test
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new method designated as the mean-to-mean ratio (MMR) test is proposed for the detection of nonhomogeneities in a radar’s Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) reference window. No a priori knowledge of the nonhomogeneity topology is assumed. Analysis using the Monte-Carlo method based on Rayleigh clutter and Swerling I target models is presented. Target-like interferences which seriously degrade the detection performance of the cell-averaging CFAR detector can be detected with a higher probability by the MMR test. APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE

Adaptive CFAR Detection for Clutter-Edge Heterogeneity Using Bayesian Inference
Reliable radar constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detection is critical in dynamic clutter and jamming scenarios [2]. The existence of heterogeneities in practical operational environments renders the conventional cell averaging CFAR (CA-CFAR) ineffective. Heterogeneities arise due to the presence of multiple targets and clutter edges [3]. Alternative schemes have been developed to address this i...
متن کاملAverage Decision Threshold of CA CFAR and excision CFAR Detectors in the Presence of Strong Pulse Jamming
1 Introduction Cell-Averaging Constant False Alarm Rate (CA CFAR) signal processing proposed by Finn and Johnson in [1] is often used for radar signal detection. The detection threshold is determined as a product of the noise level estimate in the reference window and a scale factor to achieve the design probability of false alarm. The presence of strong pulse jamming (PJ) in both, the test res...
متن کاملAn Efficient CFAR Algorithm for Piecewise Homogeneous Environments
A new constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detection algorithm operating in non-homogeneous clutter is proposed in this paper. The proposed CFAR algorithm, CUT-inclusive (CI) CFAR, utilizes a goodness-of-fit test for determining and combining homogeneous windows, resulting in a higher detection performance. The CI-CFAR algorithm layout and analytical properties for the ideal case are investigated. ...

Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) detection in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is the rst step in most ATR and image exploitation systems. In this paper several CFAR algorithms and their implementation on a 1-D SIMD array processor are investigated. We primarily focus on CFAR algorithms using the Weibull clutter model, but algorithms assuming K-distributed clutter should have similar implementati...
