Detectability Loss Due to "Greatest Of" Selection in a Cell-Averaging CFAR
V. Gregers Hansen, J. H. Sawyers · IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems · 1980
Curves are presented showing the additional constant false-alarm rate (CFAR) loss which results when a "greatest of" logic is imple mented between the leading and lagging sets of reference cells. Thee analytical results for a square law detector and a Swerling case 1 fluctuating target are supplemented by simulation results for a nonfluctuating target, and envelope and logarithmic detector laws.
