PROCESS FOR DETERMINING THE POSITION OF A RADAR TARGET

摘要

A process is disclosed for determining the position and/or the displacement in time (trace) of a (radar) target surface by means of a radar installation. A predeterminable number M of the largest echo amplitudes is first determined for the target surface, as well as the corresponding resolution cells (distance and azimuth co-ordinates). By averaging the distance and azimuth coordinates of the selected resolution cells, co-ordinates are determined for a reference point that is stable in space in relation to the target surface. This reference point is used for locating and/or tracing objects, in particular ships.
