Comparison of Shape Imaging between Pulse Integration, Correlation and Adaptive Filter

Detecting a target of interest is the primary focus of microwave imaging but once detected an additional useful property to have is some measure of the target shape. This is a comparison between a wideband Gaussian pulse with integration along the pulse length to a correlation approach and an adaptive filter for the purposes of seeing how finely a target shape is preserved. It shows improvements in shape preservation at the cost of higher strengths of detection.
