• This study investigates the influence of the target polarization scattering characteristics on the detection performance of Polarization Diversity Radar (PDR) system with three typical working modes: full polarization mode, mixed polarization mode, and single polarization mode. The statistical properties of target echo signal corresponding to the three modes are separately deduced based on the statistical model of target polarization scattering and the receiving voltage equations. Furthermore, the optimal polarization diversity multi-channel fusion detection algorithm is designed under the Neyman-Pearson criterion in the background of Gaussian distribution, and closed-form expressions of probability of false alarm and detection are derived. The simulation results show that the correlations between the polarization scattering components of the target, particularly the correlations between the matched and cross polarization scattering components of the target, have greater effect on the detection performance of PDR for a given system Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). In addition, the detection performance of the full and single polarization modes is more robust than that of the mixed polarization mode.

Abstract: This study investigates the influence of the target polarization scattering characteristics on the detection performance of Polarization Diversity Radar (PDR) system with three typical working modes: full polarization mode, mixed polarization mode, and single polarization mode. The statistical properties of target echo signal corresponding to the three modes are separately deduced based on the statistical model of target polarization scattering and the receiving voltage equations. Furthermore, the optimal polarization diversity multi-channel fusion detection algorithm is designed under the Neyman-Pearson criterion in the background of Gaussian distribution, and closed-form expressions of probability of false alarm and detection are derived. The simulation results show that the correlations between the polarization scattering components of the target, particularly the correlations between the matched and cross polarization scattering components of the target, have greater effect on the detection performance of PDR for a given system Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR). In addition, the detection performance of the full and single polarization modes is more robust than that of the mixed polarization mode.
