Abstract
A correlative radar target discrimination scheme using the transient s cattered-field response is proposed. This scheme uses a one-dimensiona l discrete wavelet transform on the temporal response to reduce the am ount of data that must be stored for each anticipated aspect angle. Ex perimental results show that a reduction in stored data of sixteen to one still allows accurate discrimination in adverse noise situations w ith signal-to-noise ratios as low as -5 dB.
