Abstract
In this work we present a thorough performance analysis of two algorithms f or estimating Toeplitz covariance matrices, the structured sample covarianc e matrix estimator (SCME) and the structured normalised SCME (NSCME), which are employed by adaptive radar detectors against Gaussian and compound-Gau ssian clutter. Performance predictions are checked with real-life sea clutt er data. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
