ABSTRACT

One original structure of the CFAR detector and parameter estimator of moving marine targets in conditions of natural

interference using Bistatic Forward Scattering Radar (FSR) are presented in this paper. The specific one dimensional

MTI CFAR processor with K/M-L batch processor and parameter estimator for a marine target with unknown size are investigated on the base of real data records that have been obtained by the team of the Birmingham University using

Forward Scattering Radar.

Keywords: Radar Detection and Estimations, CFAR processors, Forward Scattering Radar.

1. INTRODUCTION

The typical feature of Bistatic FSR systems is that the receiver and transmitter antennas are fixed and directed against

each other, and the targets move and cross the radio fence. The forward scattering effect that occurs in the Doppler

channel is that the signal-to-interference ratio (INR) drastically increases when a target is located close to the baseline

but outside of the dead zone. In FSR systems, the requirements to target automatic detection are very specific, because

the concept of a point target is inapplicable, and the duration of the package of pulses reflected from a moving target and

the pulse amplitude are unknown. They depend on various factors: target velocity, angle of crossing of a radio fence,

distance to the receiver, target dimensions.

Our investigations are based on the realistic records of marine target useful signals that have been obtained by the team

of the Birmingham University using Forward Scattering Radar in 2010 year Studies of the Birmingham University, show

and reaffirm previous such that the amplitude of maritime target signal is rather Rayleigh distributed and the amplitude

of the sea returns is Weibull distributed. The records are made in the form of signal lines presenting boats, yachts, and

sea surface with different roughness power.

We have a statistic task for detection FSR marine target with unknown speed, size and spectrum in conditions of sea

correlation clutter with unknown spectrum and power. In this situation, we propose to use the adaptive approach for

forming statistic rule for sub-optimally detection for the FSR marine target with unknown length in conditions of sea correlation clutter with unknown power [1-11]. The purpose of this approach is to construct decision rule structure with

estimates of unknown parameters for situation, when the part of parameters of statistics of two hypothesis are unknown,

for statistic H0 - unknown power, and for H1 – unknown length of target.

It is well known that, the CFAR detector with binary or non-coherent integration with fixed reference window is usually

used for detection of a point target with a known size in conditions clutter with unknown power [13-16]. But this

approach requires the independence of the samples of the marine interference.

We must estimate only the length of target. The optimal or sub-optimal signal estimation of the parameters of FS Moving Marine Targets length is based on our hypothesis that the number of detected pulses, in the pulse package received from

the target, defines the target projection of length. It is enough for forming the CFAR adaptive threshold, i.e. the length of

the tested and the reference windows.

The next our hypothesis in this situation is that using of the single channel Moving Target Indicator (MTI) with pulse

canceller to reject the marine radar clutter or reduce correlation signal process in uncorrelation process. Than the

structure of this original CFAR detector, must decorrelate signal to nose mixture and estimate the length of the target

(pulse package) and the clutter power for forming the adaptive threshold.

For that reason, in this paper we propose original structure of single channel MTI with one – dimensional CA CFAR processor with length target estimator (LTE) so call (MTI CA CFAR LTE). It uses: MTI rejector of sea clutter, using one

or two pulse canceller, a standard CA CFAR detectors with fixed length of the tested and the reference windows;

estimator of length of target, use two nonparametric tests K/M for of a beginning of plot of target and nonparametric L -

detectors of several zero for detection a finish a plot of target.

The purpose of this paper is to determine the part of parameters, number of pulse canceller, and numbers in the binary

rules for nonparametric detectors for a beginning of plot of target or a finish a plot of target of this MTI and one

dimensional CFAR BI LTE detector. These estimates are calculated on the base of realistic records that have been

obtained by the team of the Birmingham University using Forward Scattering Radar [1-7].

The paper includes the following sections: Abstract, Introduction, CFAR signal detection and estimation, Results,

Conclusion, References.

2. CFAR SIGNAL DETECTION AND ESTIMATION

In our investigation, for sub-optimally detection of the FSR marine target with unknown speed and length in conditions

of sea correlate clutter with unknown power, we use the adaptive approach for forming CA CFAR statistic rule [13, 15]. This structure is shown in the figure 1, and consists of: one channel Moving Target Indicator, Square Low Detector, Cell

Average Constant False Alarm Detector, a Binary K/M and L nonparametric detectors for a beginning or a finish a plot

of target, and estimator of the parameters of target, like length and energy.

The structure of MTI CA CFAR K/M-L processor with parameter target estimator includes: rejector of sea clutter, which

uses one or two pulse canceller; standard CA CFAR detectors, and estimator of length of target. This estimator uses

binary K/M and L nonparametric detectors for a beginning or a finish a plot of target. The adaptive CFAR processor

detects single pulses in clutter with unknown power and counts them using the decision rule “K out of M”, for estimating

of the beginning and L for estimating finish of plots of target. It indicates a beginning of plot or finish of target, when the criterion K/M and L are bigger of the thresholds.

2.1. Moving Target Indicator

Moving Target Indicator - is one of the oldest methods to reject the radar clutter. We propose to use the simple MTI system or no recursive basic types filter configuration. It is constructed with cascade of single 1 or 2 pulse cancellers

without feedback, i.e. transversal filter or FIR MTI with the “moving window”. We know that it is not the optimum MTI

filter, and it have the degradation improvement factor of single or dual cancellers to use. In this FSR situation, our

purpose is to decorrelated the reflected signal from sea clutter, or to minimize the correlation time.

2.2. CA CFAR detector

The standard one dimensional CA CFAR processor has been realized using constant false alarm rate detection on the

signal envelope. It has a fixed length of the tested and the reference windows. The sample from the test resolution cell x0 is compared with adaptive detection threshold HD=VT. The detection is declared if the sample x0 exceeds the detection

threshold, see a fig. 2. It well know that, the CFAR detector with binary or non-coherent integration with fixed reference

window is usually used for detection of a point target with a known size in conditions clutter with unknown power [13-

16].

2.3. K/M-L algorithm

This is a batch detector, or a non parametric detection of the package of binary signals with unknown length. The criteria for fix of the beginning package is simultaneity the criteria of the detection, in this batch detector. For fix of the centre of

plot of target it uses other non parametric test for the finish of plot of target. When the target size is unknown, ordinary

for the automatic detection of the binary pulses is used the approach for batch detection for the estimate of the beginning

and finish of plot of target, and after that is estimated the size of plot. It use two nonparametric tests K/M for of a

beginning of plot of target and nonparametric L - detectors of several zero for detection a finish a plot of target. Our aim

is to use this approach for estimation of the unknown length of the pulse package of longer targets.

3. RESULTS

In this paper two moving targets are of interest, namely, small boat and yacht. Target detection is obtained through the

principle of Forlard Scattering Radar.

3.1. Clutter decorrelation

Sea induces clutter into the receiver, which are correlated. To remove the correlation of the disturbances we apply Moving Target Indicator algorithm. We studied one and two pulse canceller MTI algorithms. This work shows only

results for small target. On the figures 3 - 11 are shows the results of: the envelope of a signal; spectrum of a signal and

interference and correlation coefficient of a clutter.

Figures show that the signal envelope has a high correlation. Spectrums of the target and clutter are characterized by low

frequency peaks. After applying the MTI clutter power decreases and the signal to noise ratio increases. Implementation

of MTI two-time further reduced the correlation, but the improvement is not as great. From the results we make decision

to use one-period MTI in subsequent studies.

3.2. CFAR processing

After one-period MTI we applied CA CFAR signal processing. CA CFAR detector is used to detect single pulse. The

specificity of the received signal leads us to choose the parameters of the detector as follow: the number of reference

cells is 600, the distance between the test cell and the reference window is 1250 cells (on both sides of the test cell).

After the CA CFAR processing K/M-L algorithm is applied to detect a package pulses with unknown length. The results

after MTI, CA CFAR and K/M-L processing for small target are shown in the figure 12. The results are obtained for K =

40, M = 50, L = 20.

Table 1 shows that increasing K and/ or decreasing of L lead to detect a package with a shorter length. If K is reduced and/ or L increases the detected package is with great length. As the package is small, so the average energy of signals

surpasses the threshold of detection is greater.

On figure 13 are shown the results after MTI, CA CFAR and K/M-L processing for large target. The results are obtained

By obtained results it can be concluded that the good work of K/M-L algorithm for large and small targets is convenient

to use values of K = 40, M = 50, L = 80. In this case, we get relatively good values for the signal energy and the size of

the target package.

4. CONCLUSION

We are constructed and investigated sub-optimally CA CFAR statistic rule for detection of the FSR marine target with

unknown speed and length in conditions of correlated sea clutter with unknown power.

This adaptive detection structure contain: one channel Moving Target Indicator, Square Low Detector, Cell Average

Constant False Alarm Detector, a Binary K/M and L nonparametric detectors for of a beginning or a finish a plot of

target, and estimator of the parameters of target, like length and energy;

The part of parameters of the CFAR FSR detector and parameters of the short and long marine targets are determined, on

the base of real data records that have been obtained by the team of the Birmingham University;

The tuned parameters of the detection structure are as follow: the length of the tested and the reference windows are: one

cells - for tested, and quarter from the length of the biggest target (400 cells) – for reference, the distance between windows - the length of the longest target (2000 cells); a binary K/M and L for estimate of a beginning or a finish a plot

of target - K/M= 40/50 and L= 80;

The determined parameters of the short and long targets are: for short target: the length 870 – 880 cells, and energy

about 0.018 V; for long target: the length 1880-1900 cells, and energy about 0.24 V.
