Abstract
Multi-function radar(MFR) is a system that uses various functions such as detection, tracking, and classification. To operate the functions in real-time, the detection stage in MFR usually uses radar signals for short measurement time. We can utilize several conventional detectors in the MFR system to detect low radar cross section maritime targets in the sea-clutter; however, the detectors, which have been developed to be effective for radar signals measured for a longer time, may be inappropriate for MFR. In this study, we proposed a modelling technique of sea-clutter short measurement time. We combined the modeled sea-clutter signal with the maritime-target signal, which was obtained by the numerical analysis method. Using this combined model, we exploited four independent detectors and analyzed the detection performances.
