Adaptive canceller for elevation angle estimation in the presence of multipath
Abstract
The paper describes a new adaptive canceller for estimating the elevation angle in a low-angle tracking radar environment in the presence of specular and diffuse multipath. The adaptation is achieved using the complex least-mean-squares (LMS) algorithm. Computer-simulation results are included to demonstrate the usefulness of this scheme for estimating the elevation angle when it is a small fraction of a standard beamwidth.
