Variance of Fluctuating Radar Echoes from Thermal Noise and Randomly Distributed Scatterers
In several cases (e.g., thermal noise, weather echoes, …), the incoming signal to a radar receiver can be assumed to be Rayleigh distributed. When estimating the mean power from the inherently fluctuating Rayleigh signals, it is necessary to average either the echo power intensities or the echo loga...
