Abstract :
The problem of optimizing the shape of the CFAR reference in airborne doppler radars is addressed. The discussion is centered on medium PRF modes in ground clutter conditions ("down-look modes"). The optimization method is based on a minimization of detection losses criterium, provided equiprobable targets in the doppler-time (speed-distance) space.
