A Statistical Approach to Electromagnetic Interference of Rotating Radars

The problem of simulating the effects of an electromagnetic environment on a receiver involves the consideration of the method, or methods, of adequately representing the environment. A statistical simulation is based on the assumption that for a large number of interfering sources the environment can be represented on a statistical basis. For example, the environment may be described by specifying its amplitude and frequency distributions as a function of time, and its autocorrelation function. It is the purpose of this paper to suggest statistical models for simulating pulse densities and amplitudes of rotating radars interfering with an omnidirectional receiver. The environment considered is two dimensional.
