Abstract:

This project is a part of research into the detection of radar signals at ranges well beyond the horizon by exploiting the effect of tropospheric scattering. A result of this work is a program written in C language which enables the distortion of the envelope of a given radar pulse, which occurs as a result of propagating over any path by tropospheric scattering, to be predicted.
