P. Ilavarasan et al., PERFORMANCE OF AN AUTOMATED RADAR TARGET DISCRIMINATION SCHEME USING E-PULSES AND S-PULSES, IEEE transactions on antennas and propagation, 41(5), 1993, pp. 582-588
Previous papers have demonstrated the viability of natural resonance b
ased target discrimination using extinction pulses (E pulses) and sing
le-mode pulses (S pulses). These papers qualitatively demonstrated the
principles of resonance annihilation by forcing the interrogating pul
se to have zeros at the complex natural resonance frequencies of the t
arget. This paper presents a quantitative scheme for evaluating discri
mination using the E pulse and the S pulse. Moreover, the performance
of an automated E-pulse and S-pulse discrimination scheme is evaluated
using numerically derived scattering data with varying amounts of noi
se.
