Journal ArticleDOI
Detection Probabilities for Log-Normally Distributed Signals
TL;DR: It is shown that for log-normal signal distributions having large variances, the probability of detection differs significantly from that obtained using curves based on an assumed Rayleigh signal distribution, which applies for square-law detection with varying degrees of postdetection linear integration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Matched-Filter Responses of the Linear FM Waveform
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented three-dimensional projections of the conventional ambiguity function of the linear FM signal in more detail than was available before, and studied the sidelobe behavior off as well as on the axes, without weighting, with unilateral weighting in the receiver, and with bilateral weighting.
Patent
Non-scanning radar for detecting and tracking targets
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method for detecting and tracking short range airborne targets using a non-scanning beam to illuminate the entire search space, and processing the return signals from a plurality of spaced apart receive antennas.
Patent
Radar system for continuous tracking of multiple objects
TL;DR: In this paper, a non-scanning radar for detecting and tracking multiple moving objects is proposed, where the transmit antenna continuously illuminates the entire surveillance volume, which can even be omni-directional (hemispherical).
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of a Turbulent Medium on the Power Pattern of a Wavefront-Tracking Circular Aperture*
TL;DR: In this article, the angular power pattern for a circular aperture receiving a plane wave perturbed in transmission through a turbulent atmosphere is obtained for a conventional angle-tracking servomechanism.
