Monopulse-radar pointing error due to multipath propagation over a rough terrain

Analyses of radar pointing error due to multipath effects usually employ specular terrain models. Since terrain is generally nonspecular at radar frequencies, the specular results can be misleading. A rough terrain model is used and the dependence of pointing error on several antenna, terrain, and geometric parameters (which do not occur in the specular case), is used. A few specular results are given for comparison.
