Bistatic UWB FSR CFAR for maritime target detection and estimation in the frequency domain

In this paper we study one original algorithm realized in the frequency domain for detection and parameter estimation of moving marine targets on the background of real interference in a Bistatic Forward Scattering Radar (FSR) system. The specific two-pulse MTI CFAR processor which includes a K/M-L batch processor for detection of a marine target with unknown size and a parameter estimator of both target energy spectrum and Doppler frequency, is investigated on the base of real data records that have been obtained by the team of the Birmingham University using Forward Scattering Radar.
