ABSTRACT:
A radar system for determining not only the azimuth and range of a target but also the target height over a predetermined range of elevation angles has separate receiving and signal processing channels coupled to a dual beam antenna for processing signals returned from a single target. The output of each signal processor is coupled to a height processor which divides the sum of the received signals into the difference of the two signals. The resulting ratio is used to access a look-up table to identify the elevation angle associated with the ratio from which the height of the target is calculated. The look-up table includes correction values to compensate for the antenna pattern nonlinearity.
