Abstract

Clutters are all unwanted radar returns to affect on detection of targets. Radar clutter is characterized by amplitude distributions, spectrum, etc. Clutter is modelled with considering these kinds of characteristics. In this paper, a Weibull distribution function approximated by uniform distribution function is suggested. Weibull distribution function is used to model the various clutters. This paper shows that the data generated by the approximated solution of Weibull distribution function satisfy the Weibull probability density function. This paper shows that the data generation time of approximated Weibull distribution function solution is reduced by 20 % compared with the generation time of original Weibull probability density function.

클러터는 레이더로 수신되는 불필요한 신호로 표적 탐지에 영향을 준다. 레이더 클러터는 진폭 분포, 주파수 스펙트럼 등과 같은 특성으로 정의되며, 이러한 특성을 충분히 고려하여 클러터 모델링 및 신호 생성이 되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 클러터의 모델링에 광범위하게 사용되는 Weibull 분포 함수를 균일 분포 함수를 이용하여 단순화한 근사적 모델링 기법에 대하여 제안한다. 제안된 Weibull 분포 함수 근사 해에 의해 발생된 데이터가 원 Weibull 확률 밀도 함수를 만족하며, 생성 시간은 약 20 % 감소함을 실험 결과를 통하여 입증한다.
