Effect of Multipath on the Height-Finding Capabilities of a Fixed- Reflector Radar System. Part 1. Analysis

Abstract

Analytical expressions are derived for the radiation pattern of a fixed reflector antenna on which there are two or more field horns operated in a monopulse mode to obtain target altitude information. Results are obtained for the radiation pattern of an arbitrary reflector located at an arbitrary height above, the earth, and fed by horns which may be located at an arbitrary position.
