Abstract :
An adaptive scheme for detection of ground targets in a variable clutter environment by an airborne radar is presented. The scheme consists of three basic units - an adaptive decorrelator, a clutter pattern classifier and a constant false alarm rate detector. It is shown that this results in a significant improvement in detection performance by optimizing the signal to interference ratio.
