Adaptive threshold mapping technique for moving target detector (MTD) in modern radar

Abstract

In this paper we propose a new adaptive threshold mapping (ATM) technique for moving target detector (MTD) in modern radar. This technique is proposed to reduce the false alarms results from weather clutter and interference with relatively high Doppler frequency shift and MTD is don't able to suppress it. Such technique is based on controlling the receiver sensitivity according the status of the output signal at the post detection. Also the technique is control the signal processing path with relatively high probability of detection. The Simulation results show that this technique is a powerful solution to keep the post detection output with high probability of detection and minimum probability of false alarm rate compared with tradition MTD without (ATM) technique.
