It is shown that the Hough transform with binary integration of the data in parameter space may be used for improvement of target detection in the presence of strong Pulse Jamming (PJ). The algorithm proposed may be used for effective detection of small airborne targets whose trajectories are straight radial lines. The expressions for detection probability evaluation are derived for a target model according to the Swerling case U. The expressions obtained are applied to the typical surveillance radar. The results show that the algorithm proposed allows sufficiently to reduce the losses in the Signal-to Noise Ratio (SNR) in comparison to the CA CFAR detector with non-coherent integration when the PJ intensity is very strong. It is shown that the algorithm proposed is very effective even if the probability of PJ appearance is very high.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
