A refined maximum likelihood method for tracking low-altitude targets over the sea : results of simulation and experiments (U) : by Eloi Bossé, Ross M. Turner and Daniel Brookes.DR52-17/38-1991E-PDF

"Accurate radar tracking of targets flying at low altitudes above a smooth surface is difficult because of the surface reflection. We propose a solution based on deterministic physical modelling of the specular multipath and the maximum likelihood method. This report describes the techniques and the results of performance studies. We derive the Cramer-Rao bound and show the benefit of using the refined propagation model. Monte-Carlo simulations are employed to compare the performance with the Cramer-Rao bound and demonstrate threshold effects on target height estimation. Finally we present the results obtained with two X-band radar experimental systems"--Abstract, page iii.
