Statistical Analysis of Northern Australian Coastline Sea Clutter Data

Abstract

This report describes the results of detailed statistical analysis of sea clutter data that were collected during the ESRL 38/97 trial, which was held off the Northern Australian coastline in February 1999. One of the trial's main objectives was to contribute to a database of experimentally collected clutter returns with radar system parameters that are comparable to those used in the Elta EL/M 2022A(V)3 maritime surveillance radar system Anti-Submarine Warfare mode. The validity of the compound K-distribution model has been proven for the collected sea clutter data both for amplitude and correlation properties.
