New parametric method of detecting random signals in unknown noise. 2. Application to radar

A new method of detecting a signal in unwanted clutter has been developed. The paper shows how this new method can be applied to practical situations of radar detection. It shows how a simple correction factor can be applied to the test statistic under the condition of limited data samples. The performance of the corrected test statistic is then examined using computer simulations. Finally, the new method is employed to real radar data for the detection of targets embedded in sea clutter, revealing its superiority in performance compared to other methods
