Abstract :
Three processing algorithms coherent, non-coherent and cross-correlation have been analyzed for their performance in FSR ATD. Effect of the clutter nature on the detection performance has been also investigated. For this purpose, AWGN and NBGN have been added to the signal. It has been demonstrated that similar to traditional radar the coherent detection has the best performance, with the next to be non-coherent detection. And cross-correlation has demonstrated the worst performance which however is still acceptable and useful in multi frequency radar.
