Abstract :
A method is proposed for measuring the scattering function. This method has improved capabilities for measuring target and/or channel structuring by reducing sidelobe interactions, and thereby reducing reverberation or clutter distortion effects. This improved capability is maintained in the presence of all levels of white Gaussian noise
