Evaluation Radar Detection Probabilities by Steepest Decent Integration

摘要

The probability of detection for radars employing noncoherent integration and a fixed threshold or cell-averaging constant false alarm rate (CA-CFAR) processor is computed by nonfluctuating and chi-squared fluctuating targets. A bound on the truncation error alloys for a simple stopping rule for the numerical integration. The method has applicability to many problems in radar detection theory.
