Generation of Clutter_K-Distributed Correlated Sea Clutter

Resource Overview

Program for generating correlated K-distributed sea clutter, producing both amplitude spectrum and frequency spectrum characteristics with code implementation details

Detailed Documentation

We can simulate sea clutter characteristics using a correlated K-distribution program. This program generates both amplitude spectrum and frequency spectrum data for correlated K-distributed clutter. The implementation typically involves generating correlated Gaussian processes and applying nonlinear transformations to achieve the desired K-distribution properties. Through parameter adjustments in the code, we can control specific sea clutter characteristics such as spectral width and amplitude peak values. Key parameters may include shape parameters for the distribution, correlation coefficients, and spectral shaping filters. The algorithm often utilizes compound representations where the clutter amplitude is modeled as the product of a speckle component (complex Gaussian) and a texture component (Gamma distribution), with correlation structures applied to both components.
