Abstract :
Performance analysis of the normalized adaptive matched filter (NAMF) operating in homogeneous Gaussian clutter has received considerable attention in the recent years (see ). In this letter, for the first time, exact and explicit expressions are derived for the associated probability of false alarm and the probability of detection. The practical advantages of using the derived expressions are established.
