Simulated Track Performance of Extended Target Model Implemented via Tapped-Delay Line

Abstract

A simulation was conducted of an extended target model implemented by means of a tapped-delay line with a tap spacing of 50% of the receiver range resolution. An early/late gate track was also simulated, both with and without the 'dither' scheme used to reduce glint. The results are positive: very little tracking error is introduced by the discrete tap arrangement.
