Range-Spread Target Detector Based on Subspace in Non-Gaussian Clutter
the range-spread target detection without secondary data is addressed
by utilizing two-step design procedure.Firstly
with known clutter texture component
the data under test is transformed into the Gaussian ones.And then the test statistic is derived by using the appropriate estimates of unknown clutter covariance matrix and target scatterer amplitudes.Secondly
by orthogonally projecting the data under test onto the orthogonal complement of signal subspace
the unknown clutter texture components are estimated.Consequently
the range-spread target detector based on subspace is proposed
and its constant false alarm rate (CFAR) property is also analyzed.It is showed that
under the classical non-Gaussian background
the proposed detector outperforms the compared ones
in terms of CFAR property and detection performance.In addition
its detection performance enhances to different extents
as the number of sensors
the number of target range cells or the clutter spikiness increases.
