“Radar Clutter Modeling Using Stable Distributions”
by Xinyu Ma and Chrysostomos L. Nikias
September 1995
We present new methods for parameter estimation in the impulsive signal environments, which are modeled as symmetric alpha-stable (_) processes. There are two parts in this report. In the first part, we present several methods for estimation of parameters (the characteristic exponent _ and the dispersion _) of a S_S process. In the second part, we apply the estimation algorithms to radar clutter modeling. It is shown that S_S can characterize the clutter environments accurately.
