A novel approach for CFAR processors design

Two novel constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detectors, the And-CFAR and Or-CFAR, are proposed, The two new CFAR detectors improve the conventional cell averaging CFAR (CA-CFAR) and order statistics CFAR (OS-CFAR) by making full use of the cell information. The novel CFAR processors combine the result...

More Information
Summary:Two novel constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detectors, the And-CFAR and Or-CFAR, are proposed, The two new CFAR detectors improve the conventional cell averaging CFAR (CA-CFAR) and order statistics CFAR (OS-CFAR) by making full use of the cell information. The novel CFAR processors combine the result of the CA-CFAR and OS-CFAR to get a better detection performance. In a homogeneous background, the mathematical medals of the two new CFAR detectors are derived and their performance has been evaluated and compared with that of CA-CFAR and OS-CFAR.
