Abstract

The paper examines the performance of azimuth estimators applied in low pulse-repetition-frequency pulsed surveillance radars via Monte Carlo simulations, whose application enables the actual processing to be modelled accurately. Part 1 considers the aspect of simulation in radar processing and describes the technique of video signal simulation. Part 2 describes various processing techniques applied in pulsed radars for accurate estimation of the azimuth position of a detector object. Part 3 presents some results achieved via the simulations
