Auto-regressive filter-based E-pulse discriminating scheme

Ultrawide-band radar target discrimination schemes have been of great interest during the last two decades. One of the most used methods is the so-called E-pulse discrimination scheme, which is based on the late-time impulse response of a target. Traditional techniques to construct the proper E-pulses require the determination of the natural frequencies as an intermediate step. Here, we present a technique that allows us to obtain the required E-pulses directly. The approach suggested is applied to two simple three-dimensional (3D) targets: a rectangular cavity and a strip with a fin
