  • Abstract
    Measurements of radar clutter using high-resolution systems show that clutter echoes cannot be modelled as Gaussian-distributed. A log-normal distribution is assumed and single-pulse detection performances are evaluated according to the Marcum-Swerling approach as well as the signal losses with respect to the Gaussian case.
