Abstract

The calculations, used for investigating the characteristics of measurement of radar targets’ angular coordinates near the interface between two media, are based on mathematical models set up as superposition (in the observation point) of two waves reflected from the object: the direct wave and the wave reflected by the surface of the interface between two media. These mathematical models are shown to be convenient and efficient for inquiries in characteristics of amplitude algorithms of measurements. The models agree well with the results of target’s elevation measurement, obtained during full-scale tests.
