Frequency domain E-pulse synthesis and target discrimination

A frequency domain approach to the
E
-pulse radar target discrimination scheme is introduced. This approach is shown to allow easier interpretation of
E
-pulse convolutions via the
E
-pulse spectrum, and leads to a simplified calculation of pulse basis function amplitudes in the
E
-pulse expansion. Experimental evidence obtained using aircraft models verifies the single-mode discrimination scheme, as well as the aspect-independent nature of the
E
-pulse technique. This leads to an integrated technique for target discrimination combining the
E
-pulse with single mode extraction waveforms.
