An Investigation of the Pareto Distribution as a Model for High Grazing Angle Clutter
نویسنده
چکیده
The Pareto Distribution is proposed as a new model for high resolution, high grazing angle radar sea clutter returns. It is assessed using the Ingara radar clutter gathered in 2004. Included is range profile modelling as well as global distributional fitting to clutter streams. APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE

Effect of Curved Path Monopulse Radar Platform’s Grazing Angle on Height of Floated Targets Detection
Monopulse radarsare one of the most accurate tracking radars used to guide various platforms. Detection and tracking of surface targets with these radars are performed in order to point strike targets. Sea clutter presents challenges for detecting floated targets and in addition to affecting detection height, it can cause errors in monopulse angle finding. In this paper, the airborne monopulse ...
متن کاملDistribution of X-Band High Resolution and High Grazing Angle Sea Clutter
This report studies the spatial distribution of X-band, high resolution and high grazing angle polarimetric sea clutter data. The K distribution usually provides a good fit for the distribution of the VV polarised data. The HH polarised data is spikiest and its distribution exhibits a sudden departure from the K distribution in the tail region, which usually requires the KA or the similar distr...
متن کاملAnalysis of High Grazing Angle Sea-clutter with the KK-Distribution
An estimated probability distribution of the backscatter is commonly used to determine the threshold for distinguishing targets from clutter at a given false alarm rate. Data collected at high grazing angles (15◦−45◦) by the Defence Science Technology Organisation’s Ingara fully polarimetric X-band radar demonstrates that the commonly used K-distribution is not always adequate for modelling the...
متن کاملModels of Land Clutter vs Grazing Angle, Spatial Distribution and Temporal Distribution – L-Band VV Polarisation Perspective
APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Land clutter issues and modelling from a perspective of L-band VV polarisation are addressed. In particular, clutter distributions in three different dimensions are discussed in detail. First a three-term model for the dependence of land clutter on grazing angle is proposed. The model is site-specific and landcover-dependent. Parameters for dominant types of landcove...
متن کاملNeyman-Pearson Optimal and Suboptimal Detection for Signals in General Clutter Mixture Distributions
A general framework is introduced that enables the construction of the NeymanPearson optimal detector for a single general target model embedded within complex clutter whose amplitude distribution forms a mixture. This enables the determination of asymptotic decision rules for high resolution high grazing angle detection of targets in spiky sea clutter. In addition, suboptimal approximations ar...
