The presence of the sea clutter interfering signal sets limitations on the quality of radar detection in coastal and ocean environments. The CA-CFAR processor is the classic solution for detecting radar targets. It usually operates keeping constant its adjustment factor during the entire operation period. As a consequence, the scheme does not take into account the slow statistical variations of...

—The FFT lter bank-based summation CFAR detector is widely used for the detection of narrowband signals embedded in wideband noise. The simulation and implementation of this detector involves some problems concerning the reliable computation of the normalized detection threshold for a given probability of false alarm. This paper presents a comprehensive theoretical treatment of major aspects of...

CLUTTER DETECTION IN PULSE-DOPPLER RADAR SYSTEMS Ahmet Güngör M.S. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering Supervisor: Assist. Prof. Dr. Sinan Gezici August 2010 Among various types of radar systems, the pulse-Doppler radar is the most widely used one, especially in military applications. Pulse Doppler radars have a primary objective to detect and estimate the range and the radial velocity of...

A new parallel algorithm for signal processing and a parallel systolic architecture of a robust constant false alarm rate (CFAR) processor with post-detection integration and adaptive censoring (RACPI) is presented in the paper. This detector is effective in conditions of flow from strong impulse interference. The ACPI CFAR processor uses sorting and censoring algorithms. We offer the sorting a...

Blood glucose management systems are an important class of Medical Cyber-Physical Systems that provide vital everyday decision support service to diabetics. An artificial pancreas, which integrates a continuous glucose monitor, a wearable insulin pump, and control algorithms running on embedded computing devices, can significantly improve the quality of life for millions of Type 1 diabetics. A ...

Title of Document: PHYSICS-BASED DETECTION OF SUBPIXEL TARGETS IN HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGERY Joshua Bret Broadwater Doctor of Philosophy, 2007 Directed By: Professor Ramalingam Chellappa Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Hyperspectral imagery provides the ability to detect targets that are smaller than the size of a pixel. They provide this ability by measuring the reflection and abs...
