important class of targets is represented by the so-called moderately fluctuating Rayleigh
targets, which, when illuminated by a coherent pulse train, return a train of correlated pulses
with a correlation coefficient in the range 0< ρ< 1 (intermediate between SWII and SWI
models). The detection of this type of fluctuating targets is therefore of great interest. On the
other hand, the CFAR detection is one of the desirable features for radar receivers. Because …
