Abstract
This paper presents an exploitation of the existing two dimensional radars
(2D) which have two identical antennas for reception to be upgraded to a three
dimensional radar (3D) in order to measure the height as well as the slant range
and azimuth direction. The height measurement is important for preliminary
information for reducing the time required for acquisition. Software Defined
Radio (SDR) is chosen for the implementation of height finder processor is given
in this paper. Design parameters are selected for the proposed height finder
processor in order to accommodate SDR requirement. This work is also concerned
with the analysis of the parameters which affect the accuracy of height finding.
These parameters include the refraction index, smooth surface reflection,
divergence and rough surface reflection. The results of the analysis show the
feasibility of this proposal to upgrade the 2D to 3D radars
