Abstract

In an article recently accepted for publication in the IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Sys-tems [1], we investigate the problem of specifying interference protection criteria for a radar sharing spectrum with wireless communications. In that paper, we first propose a statistical model for wireless communications interference based on existing interference and clutter models and supported by original simulations. Then we model the statistical effects of such interference on the detection performance of a cell-averaging adaptive-threshold radar detector. While the IEEE paper summarizes the statistical results and plots some representative figures, many additional calculations were computed than could be presented in an IEEE paper. Therefore, this technical report publishes the complete set of statistical results computed, for the interested reader's reference.
