In this paper, detection performances are investigated and compared among the combinations of pulse signals transmitted, tares models and target detectors. Incoherent detector using LFM pulse signal is shown to be superior to other detectors in terms of detection performance and hardware complexity for Swelling 0, 1 or 3 targets. For Swerling 2 or 4 targets, semicoherent detector using SFM pulse signal performs better than other detectors if a single pulse is used. On the other hand when multiple pulses are used, incoherent detector using LFM pulse signal has more advantage in detection performance and hardware complexity than coherent and semicoherent detectors.
