Range resolution of unequal strength targets

This paper examines the problem of resolving targets whose amplitudes may differ. A common metric used for resolution that assumes targets of equal strength is modified for the subject scenario. An expression for range resolution that accounts for the difference in target strength is also developed....

Description
Summary:This paper examines the problem of resolving targets whose amplitudes may differ. A common metric used for resolution that assumes targets of equal strength is modified for the subject scenario. An expression for range resolution that accounts for the difference in target strength is also developed. Computational results are presented to depict how resolution performance is affected by various parameters.
