To this end we resort to a Bayesian approach based on a suitable model for the probability density function of the unknown disturbance covariance matrix. We devise two detectors based on the generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) criterion both one-step and two-step. The new decision rules achieve a better performance level than some conventional radar detectors in the presence of heterogeneous scenarios, where a small number of training data is available. Finally they ensure the same performance of the non Bayesian GLRT detectors when the size of the training set is sufficiently large.","PeriodicalId":124475,"journal":{"name":"2006 International Radar Symposium","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130509949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But the signal environment that includes external noise, different kinds of clutter and interference will significantly limit the detection and system capability. This paper considers a new approach to solve the target detection problem in a complex HF radar signal environment. It uses conventional constant false-alarm-rate (CFAR) detection procedure but based in this case on an untypical assumption of Gumbel distributed power spectrum values along range cells for thresholding. The CFAR detection test rule was combined with a local peak determination procedure. The proposed detection scheme was tested using real HF radar data and gave very promising results.","PeriodicalId":124475,"journal":{"name":"2006 International Radar Symposium","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115437798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
