An analysis on error sources of guidance radar detection performance

Target detection is the premise of identification/tracking of the guidance radar. There are many factors affect the detection performance of the guidance radar. Analysis and research the error sources is the basis of performance evaluation and system optimization design for guidance radar, and it provides technical support for the target detection performance evaluation and further testing and optimization of the guidance radar's signal processing algorithms. This paper analyzes and researches the error sources of guidance radar from the target, clutter characteristics and motion characteristics of radar platform, the simulation results show correctness of the analysis.
