Adaptive Constant False Alarm Detector Based on Composite Fuzzy Fusion Rules

In order to improve the detection performance of the radar constant false alarm detector in a multiple-target environment, a Kaigh–Lachenbruch Quantile constant false alarm rate detector based on composite fuzzy fusion rules (CFKLQ-CFAR) is designed by combining fuzzy fusion rules and the Kaigh–Lach...

description In order to improve the detection performance of the radar constant false alarm detector in a multiple-target environment, a Kaigh–Lachenbruch Quantile constant false alarm rate detector based on composite fuzzy fusion rules (CFKLQ-CFAR) is designed by combining fuzzy fusion rules and the Kaigh–Lachenbruch Quantile constant false alarm rate detector. Two sensors are used to collect environmental information, and the membership function value is calculated based on the collected information. Furthermore, the presence or absence of the target is judged compositely by four fuzzy fusion rules. CFKLQ-CFAR is applied to the variability index CFAR (VI-CFAR) detector, and an adaptive constant false alarm rate detector based on the composite fuzzy fusion rules (CFVI-CFAR) is designed to improve the performance of the radar constant false alarm detector in different environments. The simulation experiment results show that the average detection probability of CFKLQ-CFAR is 2.67% and 1.00% higher than that of KLQ-CFAR and the fuzzy logic fusion detector (FUMCA-CFAR) in a multiple-target environment. The average detection probability of CFVI-CFAR is 3.66% higher than that of the variability index heterogeneous clutter estimate modified ordered statistics CFAR (VIHCEMOS-CFAR) in a multiple-target environment, while in a clutter edge environment, the average false alarm probability of CFVI-CFAR is only 1.65% of that of VIHCEMOS-CFAR. Therefore, the performance of the radar constant false alarm detector has been effectively improved.
