DERIVATION OF EXACT FORMULAS FOR CORRECTING RADAR ANGLE DATA FOR ERRORS CAUSED BY NONPER PENDICULARITY OF THE RADAR AXES

Abstract

Exact formulas are derived for the correction of radar azimuth and elevation due to nonperpendic singularity of the beam axis and azimuth axis to the elevation axis. Certain approximations are then obtained, and compared to the exact formulas. A method of combining these operations with coordinate transformations is given.
