An Investigation of the Generalised Range-Based Detector in Pareto Distributed Clutter
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, Vol. 85, 1-8, 2018
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to examine whether a generalised range-based sliding window detector provides any improved detection performance relative to a single order statistic based counterpart. This is for non-coherent target detection in an X-band maritime surveillance radar environment, and as such the intensity clutter is modelled by a Pareto distribution. It will be demonstrated mathematically that a single order statistic detector is in fact sucient. Some numerical examples are also provided to clarify the theoretical results.
