Abstract :
In this paper, we report on a series of foliage penetration experiments aimed at demonstrating the potential application of nadir looking, millimeter-wave radars in detecting targets under foliage cover. An algorithm is developed that classifies the radar return and isolates the radar return from hard targets.
