ABSTRACT The performance characteristics of the cell averaging (CA), greatest of (GO), and smallest of (SO) constant false alarm rate (CFAR) processors in homogeneous environment are analyzed and compared when receiving antenna diversity is employed in the pseudonoise code acquisition of directsequence code division multiple access systems. From the simulation results, it is observed that the C...

The line spectrum estimation and detection problem are considered in this paper. We propose a CFAR-based Newtonized OMP (NOMP-CFAR) method which can maintain desired false alarm rate without the knowledge of noise variance. NOMP-CFAR consists two steps, namely, an initialization step step. In step, NOMP is employed to obtain candidate sinusoidal components. CFAR detector applied detect each fre...

A new detection algorithm based on constant false alarm rate (CFAR) algorithm, which is applicable to radar image with homogeneous background, is proposed in this paper. This algorithm firstly estimates the parameters of the probability model of background accurately. Then a conventional global CFAR is done using the results of estimation. In estimating the parameters of background, a novel ite...

This paper taught the performance of the proposed sensing models, namely, constant false alarm ratedynamic waveform detector (CFAR-DWD) are categorized as dynamic threshold (DT), two-stage (TS), and adaptive two-stage (ATS) detection for accurately detecting of the static-primary user (PU) signals, where the state of the PU signal not change during the sensing duration. Whereby it is carried ou...

The Hough detector is investigated with three types of Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) processors – an Adaptive censoring Post detection Integration (API CFAR) processor, a Binary Integration (BI CFAR) processor and an Excision with Binary Integration (EXC CFAR BI) processor in the presence of randomly arriving impulse interference. The detection probability and the average detection threshold...

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...

In this paper we study the efficiency of CA CFAR BI, EXC CFAR BI and Adaptive CFAR PI detectors in strong pulse jamming. We achieve new results for the average decision threshold (ADT) using the minimum detectable signal (Pd=0.5). For comparison we use also the approach with Monte-Karlo simulation for estimation of the ADT of the studied CFAR detectors. Differently from other authors, we consid...

In many practical situations, however, the environment is presence of strong pulse jamming (PJ) with high intensity; the pulse jamming is with binomial distribution. In this case, the pulse jamming can cause drastic degradation in the performance of Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) processors. In this paper, CA CFAR and CA CFAR BI (binary integration) processors in binomial distributed pulse ja...

In this paper we investigate the performance of a combined Compressive Sensing (CS) Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) radar processor under different interference scenarios using both the Cell Averaging (CA) and Order Statistic (OS) CFAR detectors. Using the properties of the Complex Approximate Message Passing (CAMP) algorithm, we demonstrate that the behavior of the CFAR processor is independe...
