  • Abstract
    This paper compares the radar detection performance of a narrow band rectangular pulse, linear chirp and nonlinear stepped frequency waveform approximating to a matched target illumination against two target types (a farm tractor and a main battle tank) in the presence of clutter (soil/sand, rocks and woodland).
