ABSTRACT
In a radar detection system, multiple pulse (MP) transmission is used to improve detection performance compared to the single pulse case by integrating the echoes of pulses at reception. In this paper, we derive closed-form expressions of the probability of false alarm PFA of the cell averaging-constant false alarm rate, greatest-of CFAR, and smallest-of CFAR detectors considering a homogeneous gamma distributed radar clutter applied to the MP case. Expressions are given by analytical formulas for a positive real shape parameter which correspond to a real situation and are validated by comparing them in terms of the detection threshold calculated values T, to the results obtained by means of Monte Carlo simulations.
