Abstract :
In this paper, a new meter band radar superresolution height-finding approach under clutter environments is presented in the presence of multipath, which cascades moving target indication (MTI) method and forward spatial smooth MUSIC (FSS-MUSIC) algorithm, the MTI$FSS-MUSIC approach for short. The numerical simulation analysis of the presented approach is performed and the root-mean-square-error (RMSE) of target height estimation is given. It is demonstrated that clutter suppression method i.e., MTI cascaded superresolution height-finding approach is available for VHF array radar low-angle tracking applications
