We address the performance prediction of the noncoherent detector (i.e., squared-law plus integrator) for independent but possibly nonidentically distributed (non-id) noncentral Gamma (NCG) fluctuating target model, which is more general and can describe more complex targets. Initially, we obtain the probability density function (pdf) of the sum of independent and non-id NCG random variables in terms of an infinite sum of Gamma pdfs. Furthermore, we develop an analytic expression of the detection probability in terms of converging series based on the generalized Marcum Q function. Finally, at the analysis stage, we first study the truncation error of the derived expression and then evaluate the impacts on the detection performance of the target fluctuating parameters via numerical simulations.
