Angle Measurements for Broad-Beam-Array Radars.

Abstract

This report describes the problems in measuring the angle of a target with broadbeam radars. It is shown that if the array is cross-level stabilized, reasonably good azimuth measurements can be made and the elevation measures are good except for about 7 to 8 degrees down to the horizon. For the situation with no cross-level stabilization present, two solution techniques were suggested. (Author)
