A calculation method is suggested to estimate the angle of arrival errors incurred by multipath components in urban environments. The transmitted signal replicas due to reflection, diffraction and scattering in such a medium can affect the radar performance. The method to evaluate the complex electric field incident at the radar receiver considers ray-tracing simulations and the target bi-static radar cross section. This contribution will allow development of appropriate radar target detection techniques.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
