MitchellWalkerProbabilityOfDetectionScalar Class

A SingleTargetRadarLinkScalar which represents the Mitchell-Walker probability of detection model. The probability of detection (PDet) is a function of the signal-to-noise ratio (single pulse or integrated, with or without interference effects), the number of pulses integrated, the probability of false alarm, and the radar cross section (RCS) fluctuation type (SwerlingTargetModel). If enabled, the probability of detection for a constant false alarm rate (CFAR) can be evaluated based on the number of reference cells. A CFAR receiver will adjust the detection threshold based on the noise in reference 'cells' around the cell being examined for the presence of a target.

Properties
  NameDescription
Public propertyComputeMode
Gets or sets the mode used for computing the signal-to-noise ratio.
Public propertyConstantFalseAlarmRateReferenceCellCount
Gets or sets the number of constant false alarm rate reference cells.
Public propertyEnableConstantFalseAlarmRate
Gets or sets a value indicating whether or not to use a constant false alarm rate.
Public propertyEvaluateInterference
Gets a value indicating whether or not the scalar should account for interference during the scalar evaluation.
(Inherited from SingleTargetRadarLinkScalar.)
Public propertyIntendedSignalStrategy
Gets the method used to identify the desired signal for scalar evaluation.
(Inherited from SingleTargetRadarLinkScalar.)
Public propertyIsFrozen
Gets a value indicating whether this object is frozen. A frozen object cannot be modified and an ObjectFrozenException will be thrown if an attempt is made to do so.
(Inherited from DefinitionalObject.)
Public propertyProbabilityOfFalseAlarm
Gets or sets the probability of false alarm used in order to determined the detection threshold.
Public propertyRadarReceiver
Gets the IServiceProvider which represents the radar receiver.
(Inherited from SingleTargetRadarLinkScalar.)
Public propertyRadarTransmitter
Gets the IServiceProvider which represents the radar transmitter.
(Inherited from SingleTargetRadarLinkScalar.)
Public propertySignalPropagationGraph
Gets the signal propagation graph.
(Inherited from SingleTargetRadarLinkScalar.)
Public propertyTarget
Gets the IServiceProvider which represents the radar target.
(Inherited from SingleTargetRadarLinkScalar.)
Public propertyUseLogarithmicSampling
Gets or sets a value indicating whether computed values will be converted to a logarithmic scale when performing sampling for access calculations. Radar scalars can span an extremely large range of values, so in order to avoid comparing values larger than one with values very near zero, the logarithmic scale gives a better means of analyzing the behavior of the function without running into numerical issue with floating point numbers. This value is set by its derived classes and in most cases is set to false by default.

Methods
  NameDescription
Public methodAdd(Double)
Adds a fixed scalar to this one.
(Inherited from Scalar.)
Public methodAdd(Scalar)
Adds another scalar to this one.
(Inherited from Scalar.)
Protected methodCheckForSameDefinition(DefinitionalObject)
Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IsSameDefinition(Object).
(Inherited from Scalar.)
Protected methodCheckForSameDefinition(MitchellWalkerProbabilityOfDetectionScalar)
Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IsSameDefinition(Object).
Protected methodCheckForSameDefinition(Scalar)

Remarks
The algorithm for computing probability of detection comes from Mitchell, R.L. and J.F. Walker, "Recursive Methods for Computing Detection Probabilities," IEEE Transactions on Aerospace Electronic Systems, Vol. 7, No. 4 (July 1971). The SwerlingTargetModel is not directly configured on the scalar instance, but is obtained from the received radar signal. The scalar will look for an instance of PointScattererInformationCollection using the GetDataByType(Type) method on the received signal. The scalar will then try to obtain an instance of SignalSwerlingTargetModel from the last PointScattererInformation instance in the collection. If an instance of the SignalSwerlingTargetModel is found, the SwerlingTargetModel is obtained from SwerlingTargetModel, otherwise None is used, indicating a non-fluctuating radar cross section.
