A Gaussian Noise Analysis of the 'Pseudo-Coherent Discriminant

Abstract

The Pseudo-Coherent Discriminant for radar detection of fixed targets in ground clutter is investigated. Performance, of the technique in Gaussian noise interference is analyzed and compared with Marcum's results for square law detection of a steady signal.
