Three-subaperture methods for estimating the elevation angles of two targets within the 3 dB beamwidth for the main aperture of a linear array are discussed and applied to the case of a radar target in the presence of multipath over a smooth surface. Simulation results and comparison with the three-subaperture maximumlikelihood estimator by Cantrell et al. are presented. A four-subaperture technique to solve the in-phase and antiphase signal cases is suggested.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
