New CFAR-processor based on an ordered statistic
Abstract
In the present paper, a CFAR (constant false alarm rate) method is discussed using as the CFAR threshold one single value selected from the so-called ordered statistic. This procedure has some advantages over cell averaging CFAR, especially in cases where more than one target is present within the reference window on which estimation of the local clutter situation is based, or where this reference window is crossing clutter edges.
