Abstract:To solve the problem of subspace signal detection in partially homogeneous environment with limited training data, the Bayesian theory was adopted by modelling the unknown covariance matrix as an inverse Wishart distribution. Then, an adaptive detector was designed according to the generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT), Rao test and Wald test. Numerical examples of simulations and real data have demonstrated that the proposed detector can provide better detection performance than those existing detectors. The key physical quantities that affect the detection performance were also obtained.
