Abstract :
The most famous two-pulse UWB detector is inter-period correlator processing (IPCP). IPCP is not the optimum detector when we have targets with different target fluctuation models. In this paper, we compare IPCP performance with a modified version which optimizes the 2nd stage detectors used after multiplier block for different target fluctuation models. For each model of fluctuation, suboptimum detectors are proposed to have good performance for targets with different number of bright points.
