Note publique d'information : "Sea clutter : scattering, the K-distribution and radar performance, 2nd edition gives
an authoritative account of our current understanding of radar sea clutter. Topics
covered include the characteristics of radar sea clutter, modelling radar scattering
by the ocean surface, statistical models of sea clutter, the simulation of clutter
and other random processes, detection of small targets in sea clutter, imaging ocean
surface features, radar detection performance calculations, CFAR detection, and the
specification and measurement of radar performance. The calculation of the performance
of practical radar systems is presented in sufficient detail for the reader to be
able to tackle related problems with confidence. For this fully revised and updated
second edition new material has been added on the Doppler characteristics of sea clutter
and associated detection processing methods, bistatic sea clutter measurements; electromagnetic
scattering theory of littoral sea clutter and bistatic sea clutter; the use of models
for predicting radar performance, including discussion of Lognormal and Weibull models;
further results and extended discussion on the modelling of the K-distribution shape
parameter for different conditions; the simulation of Doppler spectra of sea clutter;
high grazing angle scattering; and the use of the K distribution in other fields."
