Radar detection prediction in K-distributed sea clutter and thermal noise
Abstract
The compound K-distribution model for high resolution sea clutter is extended to cover the addition of thermal noise. This model is not only a good match to real data but also allows the pulse-to-pulse correlation of the clutter returns to be modeled. The matching of real data and the analysis required for target detection prediction are described, together with some typical detection results.
