Abstract :
In previous studies by V.G. Hansen (1973) and by Hansen and J.H. Sawyers (1980), performance models were developed for the smaller of (SO) and greater of (GO) constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detectors processing a single sweep (or single pulse). Here, performances of the SO and GO detectors are derived when M pulses are incoherently integrated in a homogeneous environment. This situation is fitted to the case of a radar system processing M sweeps per range bin
