Practical approaches to evaluate the performance of a radar using the radar range equation are valuable as they provide very quick assessment of the chosen radar parameters. Barton proposed the concept of equivalent noise power for clutter which is added to the thermal noise in the radar range equation. This paper is aimed at evaluating the accuracy of this approach by applying the concept to the detection of various Swerling targets in sea clutter. Barton's method will be compared with Watts rigorous approach.

Evaluation of multi target tracking algorithms in the presence of clutter Güner, Onur; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) This thesis describes the theoretical bases, implementation and testing of a multi target tracking approach in radar applications. The main concern in this thesis is the evaluation of the performance of tracking algorithms in the presence of false alarms due to clutter. Multi target tracking algorithms are composed of three main parts: track initiation, data association and estimation. Two methods are proposed for track initiation in this work. First one is the track score function followed by a threshold c...
Tracker-aware adaptive detection: An efficient closed-form solution for the Neyman-Pearson case Aslan, Murat Samil; Saranlı, Afşar; Baykal, Buyurman (Elsevier BV, 2010-09-01) A promising line of research for radar systems attempts to optimize the detector thresholds so as to maximize the overall performance of a radar detector-tracker pair. In the present work, we attempt to move in a direction to fulfill this promise by considering a particular dynamic optimization scheme which relies on a non-simulation performance prediction (NSPP) methodology for the probabilistic data association filter (PDAF), namely, the modified Riccati equation (MRE). By using a suitable functional appr...
Performance optimization of monopulse tracking radar Şahin, Mehmet Alper; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004) An analysis and simulation tool is developed for optimizing system parameters of the monopulse target tracking radar and observing effects of the system parameters on the performance of the system over different scenarios. A monopulse tracking radar is modeled for measuring the performance of the radar with given parameters, during the thesis studies. The radar model simulates the operation of a Class IA type monopulse automatic tracking radar, which uses a planar phased array. The interacting multiple mode...
Use of the ambiguity function technique for target detection in phase coded continuous wave radars Çankaya, Erkan; Sayan, Gönül; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) The goal of this thesis study is to investigate the Ambiguity Function Technique for target detection in phase-coded continuous wave radar. Also, phase shift keying techniques are examined in detail. Continuous Wave (CW) Radars, which are also known as Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) radars, emit continuous signals in time which are modulated by either frequency modulation or phase modulation techniques. Modulation of the transmitted radar signal is needed to estimate both the range and the radial veloci...
Evaluation of rotorcraft system identification approaches Kaymak, Serkan; Tekinalp, Ozan; Kutay, Ali Türker; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2013) This thesis addresses rotorcraft system identification approaches and estimating the stability and control parameters for linear system identification of a helicopter in hover. Output error and least square methods are used for the system identification. Inputs of the system identification analysis are obtained from the nonlinear helicopter model written in FLIGHTLAB commercial software environment. A linear helicopter model is used for identification. For validation, results obtained from identified helico...
