Abstract:
Multipath compensation techniques for radar applications are being evaluated. Three methods which comprise an extension of the conventional monopulse and a fourth that uses coherent samples taken across the antenna aperture were considered. The performance in the presence of a single specular reflection from the ground is compared by means of Monte Carlo computer simulations. The aperture sampling technique using a minimizing search processing is found to outperform the other methods. Author
