Effect of Multipath on the Height-Finding Capability of Fixed-Reflector Radar Systems. Part 4. Effect of System Noise

Abstract

The effect of noise and clutter on the elevation accuracy of the reflector radar system described in RADC/TR-76-215 were studied. It was found that the elevation error can be separated into two contributions: one due to multipath alone and the other, which is a combination of the effects of noise, multipath, and ground clutter.
