Detection Statistics for Laser Radar in Atmospheric Turbulence with Fluctuating Targets

Detection Statistics for Laser Radar in Atmospheric Turbulence with Fluctuating Targets

The probability of detection and false-alarm rates are developed for laser radar systems perturbed by background radiation, fluctuating targets, and atmospheric turbulence. In particular, some results on the decibel loss due to atmospheric turbulence are presented.
