Time-Domain Waveform Generation of Weibull-Distributed Clutter

The Weibull distribution is a commonly used probability distribution widely applied in signal processing and communication engineering. In signal analysis domains such as time-domain waveforms, amplitude spectra, and frequency spectra, the Weibull distribution serves as an effective clutter model for characterizing noise components within signals. For implementation, MATLAB's wblrnd function can generate Weibull-distributed random variables using the syntax: X = wblrnd(a,b,m,n), where a represents the scale parameter, b the shape parameter, and [m,n] specifies the output matrix dimensions. The probability density function follows f(x|a,b) = (b/a)(x/a)^(b-1)exp[-(x/a)^b], enabling realistic clutter simulation. Additionally, the Weibull distribution facilitates signal detection and recognition tasks by modeling amplitude fluctuations in radar and communication systems. Parameter estimation via wblfit function allows distribution fitting to observed data, while the wblplot function provides visual goodness-of-fit assessment through probability plots. These computational approaches deliver more accurate and reliable analytical methods for signal processing and communication engineering applications.
