Performance of cell averaging constant false alarm rate (CA-CFAR) processors for M-correlated sweeps in multiple target environments

Abstract

In this paper, the detection performance of CA-CFAR processor is analysed for M-correlated sweeps in Gaussian clutter environment which contains interfering targets. The performance analyses are done for different number of sweeps, M, and sweep-to-sweep correlation coefficient, R, with Swerling-I target model in homogeneous and non-homogeneous environments.
