An adaptive system and method for radar detection

Abstract

This invention relates to an adaptive detection system and method for analyzing range-doppler-azimuth data for target detection. The detection system has a threshold calculator for calculating a threshold value that is based on the standard deviation of the range-doppler-azimuth data and a predetermined probability of detection. The detection system also has a detection module in communication with the threshold calculator to receive the threshold value. The detection module calculates an estimated target amplitude and an estimated noise floor amplitude based on the range-doppler data that is located in a detection window. The detection module detects a target when the difference between the estimated target amplitude and the estimated noise floor amplitude is larger than the threshold value.

The present invention relates to adaptive detection equipment and method for analyzing distance / doppler / azimuth data for a target detection. The detection equipment has a threshold calculator for calculating a threshold value based on the standard deviation of the respective distance / doppler / azimuth data as well as a predetermined probability of detection. The detection equipment also has a detection module in communication with the threshold calculator to receive the threshold value. The detection module calculates an estimated target amplitude and an estimated noise floor amplitude based on distance / doppler data located in a detection window. The detection module then detects a target when the difference between the estimated target amplitude and the estimated noise floor amplitude is greater than the threshold value.
