Abstract

In this paper, we analyse various topologies of multiple antenna systems in radars. The results are presented by means of a novel detection theoretic approach to track the detection capability of radars. The new detection approach is more tractable than conventional ´probability of detection analysis´ and is based on modelling of radar target as a modulator in an analogous communication system. This method is called the analogous communication system for a radar (ACSR) and quantifies ´detection´ as being inversely proportional to bit error rates (BER) of the resulting communications channel
