Abstract :
We deal with the performance prediction of the conventional cell-averaging constant false alarm rate (CA-CFAR) detector in the presence of non-independent identically distributed (non-iid) target backscattered echoes. Accounting for the generalized Swerling-Chi fluctuation target model, we develop the analytical expressions for the target detection probability for CA-CFAR detector. Finally, we assess the detection performance with the derived expression as well as Monte Carlo simulations.
