Abstract :
In many of detection problems the received signals models under two hypotheses, H0 and H1, are the same except that some model parameters have fixed value under H0. These models are so called Nested Models. One of the most important examples is detection of a target with unknown amplitude in the clutter. In this problem, one can assume similar models for received signals under H0 and H1 unless the target amplitude is assumed to be zero under H0. If the Bayesian approach used for treating unknown parameters, it can be shown that the likelihood ratio can be calculated as the ratio of the posterior and the prior probability of unknown parameters. Using this method a new detector for detection in Gaussian clutter is presented in this paper. Simulation results show that the proposed detector has much better performance compared with conventional GLRT detectors. It is also shown that a CFAR property is achieved provided that a small modifications in decision rule.
