Tangential Velocity Measurement Using Interferometric MTI Radar

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/805861· OSTI ID:805861

An Interferometric Moving Target Indicator radar can be used to measure the tangential velocity component of a moving target. Multiple baselines, along with the conventional radial velocity measurement, allow estimating the true 3-D velocity vector of a target.
