Application of truncated sequential procedures in problems of radar detection
Abstract
Attention is given to sequential procedures of radar detection in the case of small samples with allowance for the existence of many resolution elements in each angular position of the beam. An optimal truncated sequential detection procedure is used in each resolution element. From the practional point of view, two-stage sequential procedures are the most simple (and even preferred in the case of small samples). The use of two-stage procedures leads to an appreciable energy gain (on the average) compared with single-stage procedures if the number of range resolution elements does not exceed 180-200. The energy gain exceeds 4.dB when the number of elements is small (about 5) but decreases to 1-1.5 dB when the number of elements is large (180-200).
