CFAR detectors for MIMO radars in a Pareto background

In this paper, we aim to generalize some of the single-input single-output (SISO) constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detectors, operating in Pareto clutter. That is, for a known scale parameter, we propose to extend to statistical multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radars, closed form expressions of the probability of false alarm of the well-known geometric mean (GM-CFAR), greatest of (GO-CFAR) and smallest of (SO-CFAR) detectors. We use Monte Carlo simulations to assess the detection performance of the proposed detectors and show the usefulness of their architecture.
