Multipath-Induced, Low-Angle Tracking Error at 140 GHz
Abstract
This report describes a measurement program to characterize multipath-induced errors which can affect missile guidance. Measurements of angular position errors were made using a 140-GHz amplitude monopulse radar and a vertical probe. Data was collected at ranges out to 4.8 km. The longest ranges give propagation geometries that are typical for a missile trajectory in close proximity to the earth. Angular positioning errors due to diffuse multipath, specular multipath, and atmospheric-induced noise were measured.
