Characterization of Nonstationary Clutter

Abstract

A mathematical model for nonstationary and/or nonhomogeneous clutter is proposed and developed. The first order probability density function of the clutter power is treated as the expected value of a conditional density which is a function of random parameters. General expressions are derived and selected plots are given for Nakagami conditional density functions with mean values which have the following distributions: uniform, gamma, log uniform and log normal. It is seen that the limiting behavior of all the considered cases is similar.
