Passive Ranging with Wavefront Sampling.
Abstract
The report describes an experimental effort to assess the reflective properties of the sea surface at near grazing incidence on over-water passive ranging to distant airborne UHF to S-band sources using airborne receiving platforms. Two factors are involved; the effective specularity of the surface to provide the required triangulation information and the capability to separate and accurately measure angles of arrival of the direct and the sea-reflected components with small antenna apertures compatible with airborne installations.
