Abstract :
This paper presents a new approach for modeling the radar land clutter, by considering broad regions of ground and all types of roughness. In this way, many kinds of terrains with and without mountains and their composite forms are taken into account. Finally a generalized probability density function is introduced for the envelope of the clutter
