Abstract
A duality between the temporal late-time response and the spectral ear ly-time response of a radar target is used to form the basis for a gen eral E-pulse technique. Examples, using the ultrawide-band measurement s of an aircraft model, reveal that E-pulse cancellation is possible b oth in the time domain for the late-time component and in the frequenc y domain for the early-time component. Applications to radar target di scrimination and clutter cancellation are described, and the aspect de pendence of early-time discrimination is investigated.
