Abstract :
Eclipsing of received signals is analyzed for Interrupted Continuous Wave (ICW) radars. A probability density for the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) at the Doppler filter output is derived which incorporates eclipsing effects and a fluctuating target cross section model. The probability of detection as a function of SNR is calculated for typical ICW parameters and the magnitude of the detection loss due to eclipsing is assessed
