CFAR Target Detection for Passive Multistatic Radar With Compensation Errors

This article discusses the detection problem of a passive multistatic radar system with a non-cooperative illuminator of opportunity in the presence of compensation errors. Two detectors are used to address this detection problem according to whether the noise powers in the receivers are equal or not. Both of them have a constant false alarm rate with respect to the noise power. Numerical examples show that the performance of the proposed methods is better than that of the counterparts.
