Weibull-distributed ground clutter
Abstract
Weibull-distributed ground clutter of cultivated land was measured using an L-band long-range air-route surveillance radar (ARSR) having a 3.0 micron pulsewidth and a 1.23 deg beamwidth at very low grazing angles between 0.21 degs and 0.32 degs. It is shown that the shape parameter of the Weibull distribution varied from c = 1.507 to c = 2.0, corresponding to the Rayleigh distribution.
