Introduction - If you have any usage issues, please Google them yourself
We present a method for evaluating the performance of
cell-weraging constant false alarm rate (CA-CFAR) processors
which use the anplitude of echo signals rather than their
squared amplitude Results are presented for the case of Rayleigh
clutler/mise statistics for which some sirnulatiom have been
reported recently by other authors [:I. Detection probabilities are
evaluated for the case of a Rayleigh fluctuating target embedded
in Rayleigh clutter/noise for linear-law CA-CFAR processors.
These results are observed to be practically identical to those of
square-law CA-CFAR processors for which analytical expressions
are readily available. We also verify these observations using
Monte Carlo simulations. The same conelusion is reached in the
case of a nonfluctuating target embedded in Rayleigh clutter/noise
for which only simulation results are presented here.
