On the effectiveness of search algorithms based on samples of controlled duration (sequential detection).

U. B. Kobzarev, A. E. Basharinov, L. E. Brennan

ResearchPublished 1961

A translation of an article appearing in the September issue of the USSR Academy of Sciences periodical Radiotekhnika i elektronika. The article discusses sequential detection, which is a promising technique for extending the search range of phased- array radars (a new type of radar currently under development). In particular, search procedures are considered that use trial steps of controlled duration. Indices are defined that characterize the effectiveness of these controlled search procedures, and the influence of the capacity on these indices is estimated.
