ABSTRACT:
A radar system is operated in a manner that provides determination of the coincidence of radar signal polarization with the major axis of a target of unknown aspect angle. This information so obtained can be utilized to enhance radar signals or to improve target identification capabilities. One approach comprehends transmitting circularly polarized radar signals and receiving return signals on a linearly polarized receive antenna. By varying the polarization of the receive antenna over a 180.degree. range signal maxima and minima are detected that correspond to alignment of the target's major axis with the radar signal E and H field vectors. The method can also be practiced by transmitting linearly polarized radar signals, the polarization of which is also varied over a 180.degree. range.
