Optimal detection of elements of spatially extended object at the intersection of antenna patterns of passive two-element radiointerferometer

The optimal detection method of elements of spatially extended object at the intersection of antenna patterns of passive two-element radiointerferometer is synthesized and investigated. According to obtained signal processing method the block diagram of optimal detector is developed. Every channel contains decorrelation filters, which increase the signal-to-noise ratio and improve the qualitative characteristics of detection.
