Estimation of a Constant False Alarm Rate Processing Loss for a High- Resolution Maritime Radar System

摘要

This report addresses a problem of estimation of a constant false alarm rate (CFAR) processing loss for a high-resolution maritime radar system on an example of a generic radar system Anti-Submarine Warfare mode and discusses approaches to modelling of the detection performance for such a system. It has been shown that the value of the CFAR loss for a high-resolution radar system can vary considerably over a radar detection range, dependent on the clutter scenario and the CFAR detection processing used and, therefore, can not be given by a single number for the whole detection area, as it is usually done for a low-resolution radar system.
