Analysis and Real Time Implementation of a Clutter Map CFAR Detector with Noncoherent Integration

Abstract

In this paper, we analysis a CMAP-CFAR (Clutter Map Constant False Alarm Rate) detector with noncoherent integration. The predetector statistics of the complex envelope are assumed Gaussian. A Swerling II target fluctuation model is considered and the incoming pulses are assumed independent. Closed form expressions of the probability of detection and the probability of false alarm are determined. On another hand, we propose a real time implementation of CMAP-CFAR detector with post integration using Texas Instrument DSP TMS320C4x.
