Detection Criteria for a Radar Using Coincidence Processing.

Abstract

A detection process requiring a coincidence of two events (range-doppler channel threshold crossings) for target detection is examined. The detection parameters examined include the average false alarm time, probability of false alarm, and detectability factor for a fluctuating target. A loss, termed coincidence detection loss, is also presented. (Author)
