Abstract :
A method which has special application to the microwave landing system has been developed. The method uses a building block approach in which the fundamental flat ground model is augmented with factors that account for the attenuation attributed to the particular centerline profile features. A sample of measurement results is shown, and comparison with estimated points based on the proposed method shows good agreement.<>
