Abstract

In this letter, we devise an adaptive decision scheme for point-like targets capable of handling the joint presence of homogeneous clutter and structured interference in the primary and secondary data. To this end, we resort to a design procedure based on the method of sieves: the usual generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) is modified constraining the unknown parameters to belong to a suitable subset of the original space ensuring unique solutions for the involved optimizations. Remarkably, the proposed receiver possesses the constant false alarm rate (CFAR) property with respect to the unknown covariance matrix of the unstructured interference. At the analysis stage, closed-form expressions for the false alarm and detection probabilities are derived.
