The invention relates to a
radar target detection-based free
slide window type
constant false alarm rate (CFAR) control method. The method includes the following steps that: a unit Xi in an input
signal Xt (t=1...m) sequence is selected as a detected unit, and the detected unit is adopted as a center, the left side and the right side of the detected unit are respectively provided with a protective unit B1 and a protective unit B2, and then, n units at the left side of the B1 are adopted as an initial free
reference window body, and the length of the window body is fixed as L=n; the window body slides from left to right one unit by one unit until reaching n units at the right side of the protective unit B2, with the length of the window body being constant, and altogether, the number of times of slide is n, and n slide windows are obtained; comparative statistics is preformed on average values of the slide windows, so as to determine the final amplitude value of the free slide windows; the final amplitude value of the slide windows is multiplied by a nominal factor T, so that a judgment threshold value S can be obtained; and finally, the detected unit Xi is compared with the threshold value S, if Xi>S, it indicates that a target exists, otherwise, it indicates that no target exists. With the
radar target detection-based free
slide window type CFAR control method of the invention adopted, the
constant false alarm rate of target detection can be maintained, and the detection probability of a target
shielding effect and a
clutter edge effect can be improved.
