Space-time signal processing in MIMO antennas system with the Earth surface reflections

Abstract

The generalized correlation integral for space-time signal processing at the output of a MIMO antenna system radio altimeter in the Earth’s surface reflections presence is obtained. The results of calculation of one-dimensional cross-section of the generalized correlation integral at an elevation angle with a known target range and two-dimensional crosssection of the generalized correlation integral «horizontal range-height» for specific surface reflection coefficient are presented.
