Swerling models. In both cases, the received power from a single point
scatterer having a unit mean Swerling RCS is plotted, and in both it is assumed
that 10 samples are obtained on each of three scans or CPIs of the radar. Figure
2.17 is a sample Swerling 1 (exponential PDF, fully correlated) series. In
contrast, Fig. 2.18 illustrates a Swerling 4 case (fourth-degree chi-square PDF,
fully decorrelated) in which each individual sample is independent of the
others.
