| Abstract |
A radar system generally operates a signal and data processing chain, which consists of detection, confirmation, lock-on, and tracking, to seek a target within a region of interest. The performance of target lock-on depends on a confirmation method, and the lock-on time for a target is a crucial design parameter in terms of efficient resource management of a radar system in cluttered environments. This paper presents a target lock-on time prediction method based on the probability of target existence with Markov chain-2 model and its applicability in cluttered environments via computer simulation. |
