Bernoulli track-before-detect filter for passive radar

Abstract

Passive radar system is widely used in military, scientific and commercial fields. It faces a great challenge in detecting small slow-moving targets. This paper propose a new Bernoulli track-before-detect filter to deal with the detection difficulty. By estimating the ground clutter parameters, this new method can adapt to the changing of ground clutter. Simulation results prove the efficiency of this new method.
