A sequential detection method for moving targets under low SNR environments

This paper proposes a moving target detection algorithm using the sequential detection approach. Radar target detection under low SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) environments is known as a highly difficult problem. To resolve these subjects, sequential detection algorithm using position and Doppler frequency measurements are proposed. Through several simulations, validity of this algorithm has been confirmed.
