Wideband Radar Target Detection Based on the Probability Distance of Empirical Cumulative Distribution Function

The broadband radar technology has attracted much attention in the field of modern radar. Wideband radar target detection is the important part of broadband radar integration systems, in which there are still many technical problems to be solved Wehner DR (1995) High-resolution radar, 2nd edn. Artech House, Boston, MA, pp 12–18; Wei Z (2009) Research on the techniques of radar constant false alarm rate detection under complex clutter. University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing. The significant broaden of radar bandwidth makes that many preconditions in the narrow-band radar theoretical systems are no longer applicable, which also results in a series of new theory and technical issues with broadband radar. In this paper, I proposed new target detection algorithms based on the probability distance of empirical cumulative distribution function (ECDF), on which four detectors were designed. And also analyze the detection performance of these detectors through comparative simulation.
