ABSTRACT:
A method for determining the height HTof a target above a surface, the method comprising the steps of determining a distance R from a source to a target, determining a distance L representative of a distance traveled by a signal from the target that is reflected by the surface to the source, determining a height H of the source above the surface, and determining the height HTof the target using the equation:HT=(L2-R2)4⁢HAssociated target height errors that result from input errors can also be determined using the equation.
