Radar Detection Theory of Sliding Window Processes

This book outlines and examines recent developments of high resolution X-band maritime surveillance radar. Performance is assessed when the detectors are run in real X-band radar clutter. The book introduces relevant mathematical tools to allow the reader to understand the development, and follow its implementation.

Graham V. Weinberg completed his B.S. and Ph.D. degrees at the University of Melbourne, Australia. His doctoral thesis examined distributional approximations of stochastic processes using the Stein-Chen method. After a short period in telecommunications research at the University of Adelaide, he joined Defence Science and Technology Group, Australia. In the capacity of a scientist, he has undertaken research into radar detection issues arising from airborne high resolution X-band maritime surveillance platforms. To further continue his professional development, he has also completed a Master's degree in signal and information processing through the University of Adelaide, Australia. His research interests include CFAR, coherent multi-look radar detection and the mathematics of radar signal processing. He has published extensively and is a member of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), UK.
