Cross-Correlation Techniques in Radar
Abstract: Among other uses, cross-correlation techniques are commonly used in radar/sonar applications for extracting a signal from a background of random noise. In this talk, I will discuss a practical way to implement a cross-correlator in real time and provide a mathematical analysis of such a system. In particular, I will derive an expression for the output probability density function using the characteristic function approach. The special case for a square-law detector is easily derived from the general expression.
