  • Method and apparatus for discriminating with respect to low elevation target objects
    Patent number: 7623061
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method and apparatus for estimating a height of a target object using radar signals reflected from the target object wherein a receiver detects a plurality of radar signals reflected from the target object, respectively, at a plurality of different ranges, resolves the amplitudes of the plurality of reflected signals at the respective plurality of different ranges to generate an amplitude data set, and determining if the amplitude data set correlates to a particular height.
