Target Multiplicity Performance Analysis of Radar CFAR Detection Techniques for Partially Correlated Chi-Square Targets

Summary Most radar targets are complex objects and produce a wide variety of reflections. An important class of targets is represented by the so-called moderately fluctuating Rayleigh targets, which, when illuminated by a coherent pulse train, return a train of correlated pulses with a correlation coefficient in the range 0
