A Technique for the Generation of Range-Height-Angle Charts

Abstract

This memorandum discusses a technique for the computer generation of range-height-angle coverage charts for radars of arbitrary height. Such charts are useful to provide a qualitative assessment of propagation paths between a radar and an arbitrarily positioned target. Keywords: Electromagnetic wave propagation; Radar targets; Area coverage; Atmospheric refraction; Target angle; Computerized simulation; Refractive index; Ray tracing. Australia.
