A generalization of the detection theory of Swerling
Abstract
The target detection theory of Swerling (1960) is generalized to include the simultaneous effects of scanning antenna beam shape, input clutter interference, delay line cancellers and weighted post-detection integrators. When N outputs of a square law detector are summed, both the probability of false alarm and the probability of detection take the simple form of a sum of N real exponentials.
