The calculation of the radar vertical coverage diagram
Abstract
Algorithms are described for the calculation and plotting of radar vertical coverage diagrams. Two contour VCD algorithms are presented, with a brief discussion on the problem of numerical stability, and the effects of ship motion and frequency agility.
