The fundamentals of fractal geometry are reviewed, and its application to the millimeter-wave radar detection of stationary targets in a clutter background is described. First, high-range-resolution (HRR) profiles are used to determine the fractal interpolation functions needed to create fractal signatures. The fractal dimension is then determined for these signatures. On the basis of the value of the fractal dimension, the signature is declared to represent either a target of interest or clutter. The results of a CFAR (constant false alarm rate) simulation are presented to illustrate the performance of the method. They indicate that the fractal dimension feature used seems to be independent of amplitude. Thus, the fractal dimension information combined with traditional amplitude processing techniques will improve probabilities of detection.<>
