  • Patent number: 12174312
    Abstract: Empirical data fitting with Ordered Statistic Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) detection is described. An empirical approach is used to derive data for indicated expected target responses to provide a CFAR in a variety of different noise distributions. Multiple (e.g., at least two) ordered-statistics are extracted from radar data, which are then used identify a ratio for mapping to an appropriate CFAR multiplier of quantile function for a distribution at hand. Empirical data fitting evaluates an ordered-statistic ration (OSR) against expected OSR values. From evaluating the expected OSR values derived from multiple test frames, a mapping between measured OSR values and their appropriate CFAR multiplier is derived. Through this empirical data fitting, a radar system can perform CFAR detection to account for shape shifts or other variations in a noise distribution beyond just fluctuations in noise strength.
