  • Automatic radar target detector
    Patent number: 6771209
    Abstract: The invention provides improved target detection and clutter rejection, and is applicable to pulse radars operating a mixed clutter and noise environment. It employs a signal amplitude expandor that functions in operative association with a constant false alarm rate (CFAR) processor. Because of the statistical nature of noise and clutter, the invention adapts to the target and interference environment simultaneously by two independent processes: the average signal strength and the statistical characteristics of noise and clutter.
