Constant False-alarm Rate(CFAR). A constant false-alarm rate in the presence of variable levels of noise is usually a requirement placed on any modern radar. It is easily achieved in CW radars by use of filter banks. The energy reaching the filter bank is restricted either by automatic gain control or, when feasible, by limiting, and the thresholds in the circuitry following the filter bank are properly set with respect to the level in the total band. In a typical setting technique, random noise is injected into the amplifier that drives the filter bank, and each threshold is set to achieve the desired false-alarm rate. The level of noise is then varied and the threshold rechecked. If the limiting is proper, the false-alarm rate should not change. However, target signals in the absence of noise are unaffected, as they do not change the total energy present in the broad doppler spectrum sufficiently to reach the limiting level. 1, record 1, English, - constant%20false%2Dalarm%20rate

Radar Penetration. Radar wavelengths also influence penetrability below target tops to ground surfaces. Depth of penetration increases with wavelength : L and P band radar penetrate deeper than K or X bands. In forests, shorter wavelengths, such as C band, reflect mainly from the first leaves encountered, thus, from the canopy tops. At longer wavelengths, most tree leaves are too small to have much influence on backscatter, although branches will interact, so that canopies are penetrated to varying degrees. 3, record 5, English, - radar%20penetration

L'onde radar est réfléchie par une surface variable en fonction de la morphologie des arbres qui constituent la première dizaine de mètres en dessous du toit de la canopée. Les données radar, très précises en planimétrie, ne le sont donc qu'à 30 m près en altimétrie (épaisseur de la canopée moins la pénétration du radar). Elle sont par conséquent difficilement utilisables pour étudier la structure fine de la canopée forestière, mais peuvent être utiles pour détecter des structures à grande échelle, liée par exemple à la topographie. 4, record 5, French, - p%C3%A9n%C3%A9tration%20du%20radar
