This book presents a comprehensive tutorial exposition of radar
detection using the methods and techniques of mathematical
statistics. The material presented is as current and useful to
today's engineers as when the book was first published by
Prentice-Hall in 1968 and then republished by Artech House in 1980.
The book is divided into six parts. Part I is introductory and
describes the nature of the radar detection problem. Part II
reviews the mathematical tools necessary for a study of detection
theory. Part III contains tutorial expositions in a radar context
of the classical signal-to-noise and a posteriori theories, both of
which have played important roles in the evolution of modern
radar.
The unifying theme of the book is provided by statistical
decision theory, introduced in the last chapter of Part III, which
provides the framework for the chapters that follow. The first
three chapters of Part IV contain a unified tutorial exposition of
single and multiple hit detection theory. The last two chapters are
respectively devoted to the use of the radar equation and a
discussion of cumulative detection probability. The latter includes
a procedure for minimizing the power-aperture product of a search
radar. The performance of near-optimum multiple hit detection
strategies are considered in Part V. These include binary and pulse
train detection strategies.
The first chapter in Part VI applies sequential detection
theory to the radar detection problem. It includes the Marcus and
Swerling test strategy and a two-step approximation to sequential
detection. The second chapter contains the development of Bayes
decision rules and Bayes receivers for optimizing the detection
ofmultiple targets with unknown parameters, such as range,
velocity, angle, etc.
