Abstract

The performance of a fusion data center for a network of N radar receivers is analyzed. The total probabilities of detection and false alarm are obtained using a rank fusion rule. A constant false alarm rate operation that has been analyzed for Rayleigh targets and interference is proposed. For a given probability of fused false alarm an iterative method to calculate the threshold of detection of each receiver and the best rank is presented. This method allows the maximization of the probability of detection
