Noise in Tracking Radars. Part II. Distribution Functions and Further Power Spectra

Abstract

Measurements of power spectra and distribution functions of radar echo fluctuation have been made on PB4Y and SNB airplanes. Data for angle of arrival and amplitude of the echo were obtained from the power spectra. The performance of a monopulse radar, under certain conditions, is superior to that of a sequentially-lobed radar. (Author)
