In this paper we deal with the problem of adaptive signal detection in colored Gaussian disturbance. Since the classical receivers may exhibit severe performance degradations in the presence of steering vector mismatches and sidelobe interfering signals, we try to account for the quoted drawbacks, very usual in realistic radar scenarios, at the design stage. To this end we first characterize the set where the useful received signal may lie and its complement, i.e. the set which may contain the signals to be rejected. Then we resort to the Generalized Likelihood Ratio (GLR) principle and devise detectors capable of operating in the presence of array response mismatches and sidelobe interfering signals.

Abstract
In this paper we deal with the problem of adaptive signal detection in colored Gaussian disturbance. Since the classical receivers may exhibit severe performance degradations in the presence of steering vector mismatches and sidelobe interfering signals, we try to account for the quoted drawbacks, very usual in realistic radar scenarios, at the design stage. To this end we first characterize the set where the useful received signal may lie and its complement, i.e. the set which may contain the signals to be rejected. Then we resort to the Generalized Likelihood Ratio (GLR) principle and devise detectors capable of operating in the presence of array response mismatches and sidelobe interfering signals.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
