Abstract
An efficient importance sampling simulation method is presented for estimating the thresholds to achieve very low probabilities of false alarm for radar receivers in clutter modeled as a non-Gaussian, spherically invariant random vector. Thresholds at false alarm probabilities of 10/sup -6/ and lower are estimated with only 10,000 trials for both known and unknown clutter covariance matrix cases.
