The mixed mode of coarse and precise processing shows its versatility over the range-segment processing (including the traditional range-segment processing and the new range-segment undersample processing).

Its detection performance is analyzed in homogeneous background and in the presence of strong interfering targets, and we compare it with CA and OS CFARs. The analysis shows that performance of the MOSCA-CFAR detector is between the CA and OS CFAR processor in homogeneous background. In multiple target situations the MOSCA-CFAR detector is much better than the OS-CFAR detector.","PeriodicalId":144063,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of International Radar Conference","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128064868","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}
