Abstract :
The author defines six typical conventional and low probability of detection (LPD) waveforms and analyzes them against seven detection techniques. Simplified models are presented as examples of each technique and approximate sensitivities derived. These provide a general approach to the designing of waveforms that successfully resist detection. Of greatest utility is the ability to test the effectiveness of postulated threats against candidate waveforms, and to test the relative LPD strengths of competing candidate waveforms
