    Syntax

    LECL = eclipsingloss(PD,PFA,N)
    LECL = eclipsingloss(PD,PFA,N,DU)
    LECL = eclipsingloss(PD,PFA,N,DU, SW)

    Description

    LECL = eclipsingloss(PD,PFA,N) computes the statistical eclipsing loss, LECL, in decibels for an unmodulated rectangular pulse with a duty cycle of 0.1 given the probability of detection, PD, the probability of false alarm, PFA, and the number of received pulses, N. The function assuming you are using a square-law detector and a nonfluctuating target.

    example

    LECL = eclipsingloss(PD,PFA,N,DU) computes the statistical eclipsing loss for an unmodulated rectangular pulse given the duty cycle, DU, of the transmitted waveform as an additional input argument.

    LECL = eclipsingloss(PD,PFA,N,DU, SW) computes the statistical eclipsing loss for radar echoes received from a chi-squared distributed target given the Swerling case number, SW, as an additional input argument.

    Open Live Script

    Compute the statistical eclipsing loss for a single unmodulated rectangular pulse. Specify the probability of detection from 0.1–0.99 and probability of false alarm of 1e-6.

    PD = 0.1:0.01:0.99;
PFA = 1e-6;         
N = 1; 
LECL = eclipsingloss(PD,PFA,N);

    Plot the eclipsing loss.

    plot(PD,LECL)
ylim([0 20]);
xlabel('Probability of Detection');
ylabel('Eclipsing loss (dB)');
title('Statistical Eclipsing Loss vs P_d for Swerling 0 Target');
grid on;

    Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with title Statistical Eclipsing Loss vs P_d for Swerling 0 Target Statistical Eclipsing Loss vs P_d for Swerling 0 Target, xlabel Probability of Detection, ylabel Eclipsing loss (dB) contains an object of type line.

    Input Arguments

    collapse all

    Probability of detection, specified as a positive scalar in the range of [0.1, 0.999999] or as a length-J vector with each element in the range [0.1, 0.999999].

    Probability of false alarm, specified as a positive scalar or as a length-K vector with each element in the range [1e-15, 1e-3].

    Number of received pulses, specified as a positive scalar.

    Duty cycle, specified as a scalar or length-M vector.

    • If you set DU as a scalar, the function computes the eclipsing loss for an unmodulated rectangular pulse with duty cycle in the range (0, 1).

    • If you set DU as a length-M vector, the function computes the eclipsing loss for an arbitrary waveform specified using the time domain samples taken over a one pulse repetition interval.

    Swerling case number, specified as one of these

    • 'Swerling0'

    • 'Swerling1'

    • 'Swerling2'

    • 'Swerling3'

    • 'Swerling4'

    • 'Swerling5'

    Output Arguments

    collapse all

    Eclipsing loss, returned as a J-by-K matrix in decibels with rows corresponding to PD and columns corresponding to PFA.
