Detection Capability and CFAR Loss Under Fluctuating Targets of Different Swerling Model for Various Gamma Parameters in RADAR

Target detection of RADAR deals with different and manifold problems over few decades. The detection capability is one of the most significant factors in RADAR system. The main aim of detection is to increase probability of detection while decreasing rate of false alarm. The threshold of detection is modified as a function of the receiver noise level to keep a fixed rate of false alarm. Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) processors are used to maintain the amount of false alarm under supervision in a diverse background of interference. In Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) level, a loss can be occurred due to CFAR processor. Gamma function is used to determine the probability of false alarm. It is assumed in adaptive CFAR that the interference distribution is familiar here. This type of CFAR also approximates the unknown parameters connected with various interference distributions. CFAR loss depends on gamma function. Incomplete gamma function plays an important role in maintaining threshold voltage as well as probability of detection. Changing the value of gamma function can improve the probability of detection for various Swerling Models which are proposed here. This paper has also proposed a technique to compare various losses due to CFAR in terms of different gamma function in presence of different number of pulses for four Swerling Models.
