We analyze the performance of a radar in an environment where clutter is constituted by
discrete scatterers whose radar cross-sections are comparable to that of the target. An
indoor radar deployment to detect humans in the presence of furniture is an example of such
a scenario. We propose a figure of merit called the radar detection coverage probability
(P_DC) to indicate the likelihood of the signal to clutter and noise ratio at the radar being
above a predefined threshold under diverse radar, target and clutter conditions. We provide …
