Prestasi pengesanan radar maritim selalunya terbatas disebabkan gema laut atau serakan yang tidak diingini. Taburan-K adalah salah satu ketumpatan berekor panjang, di mana ia dikenali dalam komuniti pemprosesan isyarat untuk memadan dengan tepat serakan laut. Dalam kertas kerja ini, satu pendekatan novel untuk menganggar parameter taburan-K dibentangkan. Kaedah ini diterbitkan dari fungsi ciri empirik komponen quadrature. Hasil simulasi menunjukkan pembaikan yang ketara dari segi kecenderungan dan varians teranggar, berbanding dengan manamana kaedah bukan kemungkinan maksimum sedia ada. Kata kunci: Sistem radar, serakan laut, taburan–K, penganggaran parameter, fungsi ciri Detection performance of the maritime radars is often limited by the unwanted sea echo or clutter. K-distribution is one of the long-tailed densities which is known in the signal processing community for fitting the radar sea clutter accurately. In this paper, a novel approach for estimating the parameter of K-distribution is presented. The method is derived from the empirical characteristic function of the quadrature components. Simulation results show a great improvement in term of estimated bias and variance, compared with any existing non-maximum likelihood method. Key words: Radar system, sea clutter, K–distribution, parameter estimation, characteristic functionDownloads
