Abstract

This paper develops a complete architecture for constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detection based on a goodness-of-fit (GOF) test. This architecture begins with a logarithmic amplifier, which transforms the background distribution, whether Weibull or lognormal into a location-scale (LS) one, some relevant properties of which are exploited to ensure CFAR. A GOF test is adopted at last to decide whether the samples under test belong to the background or are abnormal given the background and so should be declared to be a target of interest. The performance of this new CFAR scheme is investigated both in homogeneous and multiple interfering targets environment.
