  • Abstract
    The paper introduces a new coherent radar receiver structure that is optimum in the Neyman-Pearson sense in white noise. This new receiver structure is different from the pulse Doppler filter bank, and therefore refute the general understanding that the extension of the single Doppler filter to a Doppler filter bank is optimum when the target velocity is unknown. It examine the target detection problem of a coherent air search radar using a conventional pulsed waveform
