초록

This paper describes constant alarm rates process of millimeter wave radar that exits on non-stationary target detection schemes in the ground clutter conditions. The comparison of various CFAR processes such as CA(Cell-Average)-CFAR, GO(Greatest Of)/SO(Smallest Of)-CFAR and OS(Order Statistics)-CFAR performance are applied. Using matlab software, we show the performance and loss between detection probability and signal to noise ratio. When rang bins increase, this results show the OS-CFAR process performance is better than any others and satisfies the optimal detection probability without loss of detection in the homogeneous clutter.
