Abstract :
The multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm developed by Schmidt [1986] is applied for two-dimensional radar imaging. The performance of the MUSIC algorithm using spatial smoothing for decorrelation is demonstrated. Two-dimensional radar images are generated for a simulated target as well as a target measured in the compact range at the University of Pretoria, South Africa
