Weibull radar clutter

TLDR
In this article, the authors provide the reader with a detailed treatment of Weibull distribution as applied to radar systems, including general derivation, measurements, and comparison with various distributions including Rayleigh, gamma, log-nornal and k- distributions.
Abstract
The material presented in this book is intended to provide the reader with a pratical treatment of Weibull distribution as applied to radar systems. This book is primarily written for radar engineeres. Topics include: general derivation of Weibull distribution, measurements of Weibull-distributed clutter, comparison of Weibulkl distribution with various distributions including Rayleigh, gamma, log-nornal and k- distributions to name just a few.

Modeling SAR images with a generalization of the Rayleigh distribution

TL;DR: It is shown that the amplitude distribution of the complex wave, the real and the imaginery components of which are assumed to be distributed by the /spl alpha/-stable distribution, is a generalization of the Rayleigh distribution.

Gaussian class multivariate Weibull distributions: theory and applications in fading channels

TL;DR: A theoretical framework for a class of multivariate Weibull distributions, originated from Gaussian random processes, is introduced and analyzed, and novel analytical expressions for the joint probability density function, moment-generating function, and cumulative distribution function are derived for this class of distributions.

Statistical analyses of measured radar ground clutter data

TL;DR: A new modified Kolmogorov-Smirnoff (KS) goodness-of-fit test is proposed; this modified test guarantees good fitting in the distribution tails, which is of fundamental importance for a correct design of CFAR processors.
