Abstract: This paper addresses adaptive radar detection of distributed targets embedded in noise plus interference assumed to belong to an either known or unknown subspace of the observables. We assume that a set of noise-only data is available (the so-called secondary data). Detection algorithms have been derived modeling noise vectors, corresponding to different range cells, as zero-mean, complex normal ones, sharing the same structure of the covariance matrix up to possibly different power levels between primary and secondary data. The common structure and the power levels are unknown at the receiver. The performance assessment confirms the effectiveness of the newly-proposed detection algorithms also in comparison to previously-proposed ones.
