Abstract :
In radars, the performance of signal detectors is seriously degraded by arrival of impulse noise that extremely worsens their detectability characteristics. There are many papers, in which different Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) detectors have been analyzed in the presence of randomly arriving impulse interference described as Bernoulli pulse sequences. In this paper, the randomly arriving impulse interference is mathematically described as Binominal pulse sequences. This model of impulse noise is used for numerical analysis of Excision Constant False Alarm Rate (EXC CFAR) pulse detector and EXC CFAR BI (binary integration) pulse train detector with Polar Hough transform. The detectability of detectors is expressed in terms of the detection probabilities and the Average Decision Threshold (ADT). The experimental results are obtained by numerical analysis in MATLAB environment.
