"Detection" and "False Alarm" Probabilities for Various Display Marking Criteria

Abstract

False alarm and detection probability statements are presented for various display marking criteria. These statements are given in terms of the marking probabilities for single range resolution intervals of the display. Intensity and pattern of marks are included in the criteria and a procedure is outlined for obtaining single range resolution interval probabilities from signal processor curves in the case of a matched display. Both zero and non-zero range rate targets are considered. The case of a low noise marking density is considered in some detail. Physical arguments are then presented for reducing to a more tractable approximate form the expressions for high marking densities. The arguments lead to estimates of the error introduced by use of approximate or other than exact expressions.
