Proceedings ArticleDOI
The Pareto distribution for low grazing angle and high resolution X-band sea clutter
Masoud Farshchian,Fred L. Posner +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors applied the Pareto distribution to the collected data and compared it to the log-normal, Weibull, and K distributions, and found that the two population mixture distributions were more accurate than the three classical distributions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Target detection within sea clutter: a comparative study by fractal scaling analyses
TL;DR: By systematically studying 392 sea clutter time series measured under various sea and weather conditions, this work finds very effective methods for detecting targets within sea clutter.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Sea spike demographics at high range resolutions and very low grazing angles
Fred L. Posner,Karl Gerlach +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the dependence of the mean spike duration and the mean interval between spikes upon three parameters: (1) the spike amplitude threshold, (2) the minimum spike width, and (3) the maximum spike interval.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Spiky sea clutter at low grazing angles and high range resolutions
TL;DR: In this article, a radar characterized by a high spatial resolution in range (0.3 m) and a high temporal resolution (2000 Hz PRF) was used for upwind and crosswind transmit geometries.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Application of the level crossing rate function to sea clutter
TL;DR: In this article, the level crossing rate (LCR), average calm duration (ACD) and average surge duration (ASD) in the context of radar clutter and false alarm analysis were derived.
