Ej. Rothwell et al., A GENERAL E-PULSE SCHEME ARISING FROM THE DUAL EARLY-TIME LATE-TIME BEHAVIOR OF RADAR SCATTERERS, IEEE transactions on antennas and propagation, 42(9), 1994, pp. 1336-1341
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.
