Sea Clutter: Scattering, the K Distribution and Radar Performance — Recommend this title to your library

Thank you

Your recommendation has been sent to your librarian.

One of the main applications of maritime radar is to the detection of small targets, partially obscured by the unavoidable clutter returns from their environment. In this chapter we attempt to identify procedures that allow this detection to be carried out effectively and consider to what extent we can quantify their performance. The statistical models of clutter and target returns developed in earlier chapters provide us with a framework within which we can address these issues in a reasonably systematic fashion and so define and identify optimal detection procedures.
