METHOD FOR MEASURING THE HEIGHT OF A TARGET RELATIVE TO THE GROUND USING A MOVING RADAR, AND RADAR IMPLEMENTING SUCH A METHOD

摘要

Radar equipped with a transmission antenna array and with a reception antenna array is provided, the measurement of the height h₂ is obtained by estimating the frequency of at least one time-dependent amplitude modulation produced on the reception antenna array, the modulation generated by the interference of the signals received directly from the target and the signals received after reflection on the ground, on the basis of the signals transmitted by the transmission antenna array.
