Figure 2.19. Conventional CA-CFAR with non-coherent integration.
Eq. (2.107) implies that one must first find the joint pdf for the ratio .
However, this can be avoided if is first computed for a fixed threshold
value , then averaged over all possible values of the threshold. Therefore,
let the conditional probability of false alarm when

. It

follows that the unconditional false alarm probability is given by
