A multipath based height estimation of targets for radar systems

This paper presents an approach to classify the heights of targets with radar systems. The algorithm is based on the analysis of the superposition of several reflections at a high target. The result is a superposition of the different received signals. On the contrary to a high target, a low target has only one reflection point and one propagation path. In this paper, a technique is proposed to detect the superposition and consequently classify targets as low or high. Finally the algorithm is evaluated with measurements.
