The aim of this study is to analyze the influence of neglecting K distributed clutter texture on wideband radar distributed targets detection. At first, the texture and the speckle of K clutter are researched and the Probability Density Function (PDF) of K clutter and its texture are derived, then the optimal detector by Neyman-Pearson (NP) is proposed, by contrast, another detector-Suboptimum ...

An optimum polarization-space-time joint domain processing (PST-JDP) technique is proposed for clutter suppression which adequately adopts the three-domain information including the polarization, space and Doppler frequency information of the radar echo. The study shows that the polarization information together with the space and Doppler frequency information are effective to significantly enh...

In this paper different CFAR detectors for detection of multiple targets for UWB radar system will be described and their outputs compared. The cell averaging CFAR (CA-CFAR) cell averaging with greatest of (CAGO-CFAR), ordered statistics CFAR (OS-CFAR), clutter map CFAR (CMCFAR) and cell averaging CFAR assumed for gamma distributed clutter will be represented. The properties of all detectors wi...

The subsurface radar suffers from strong clutter from surface and severe wave attenuation in the underground. This paper presents a unique countermeasure to these problems using a polarimetric FM-CW radar equipped with equivalent time sensitivity control (STC) technique. We first apply the polarimetric filtering principle to suppress surface clutter, then, use an equivalent STC technique suited...

To recognize an object in an image, an algorithm must identify not only the object pixels, but also non-object clutter pixels. Non-object pixels can be assessed with a priori clutter models that account for the varying terrain and cultural objects. Radar clutter models have been well developed; however, these models typically incorporate a single distribution to capture background effects. In t...

Maritime surveillance of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) is a present military and civilian challenge. The High Frequency Surface Wave Radar, as its coverage range is not limited by the radio horizon, is well-suited to fulfil this task. HFSWRs are based on the ability of HF waves (3 MHz to 30 MHz) to propagate along the earth curvature: it is possible to detect targets up to few hundred kilom...

This thesis presents selected research papers and patents written by Simon Watts between 1985 and 2012 on the topic of the modelling of radar sea clutter. This work has been based on the development and exploitation of the compound K distribution model for the amplitude statistics of radar sea clutter. It has covered the development of the model, through the analysis of recorded radar data, to ...

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...

In this paper detection performances of the Bayesian Optimum Radar Detector (BORD) against nonGaussian ground clutter data are showed in the case of an unknown complex amplitude target. Recalling first how BORD was derived from the non-Gaussian SIRP model (Spherically Invariant Random Process) clutter we derive theoretical performances of the asymptotical expression of BORD which is CFAR with r...

As the use of phased array radars becomes more established for weather surveillance, adaptive array processing techniques will become more important to the weather radar community. Such techniques can be applied to phased array radars to improve angular resolution and also to suppress clutter compared to conventional beamforming methods. Thus, enhanced details of weather phenomena can be realiz...
