In this article, the problem of the wideband radar target detection with the range walking in compound Gaussian clutter without the secondary data is addressed. The wideband radar target return with the range walking is represented as a canonical linear model in the multirank subspace, and the clutter is modeled as a two-dimensional random process with separable complex inverse Wishart distributed random covariance matrices in the pulse and range-frequency domains. The generalized likelihood ratio test, the Wald test, and the Rao test based on the above target and clutter models are designed under the Bayesian framework. The Laplace approximation is adopted to compute the second-kind confluent hypergeometric function of matrix argument in the proposed detectors. Finally, the performance of the detectors is validated by the simulations.
