Improvement in Radar Detection Under Scan to Scan Processing and Scan Rate Reduction.

摘要

Recent advances in signal processing technology have resulted in a significantly greater computational capability at lower cost. As a result, many investigations are currently under way to determine how increased signal processing can be used to improve the detection performance of existing radars without requiring major equipment modifications. Two approaches towards this goal are examined: The first is a scan-to-scan processing (SSP) also known as track-before-detect (TBD). The second involves scan rate reduction along with efficient post detection integration. Detailed analyses are carried out for the two methods.
