The use of enhancement plates for improved Doppler radar performance for ground transport systems

A method of improving the performance of X-band Doppler radars for ground transport vehicles is presented. The technique utilizes small metallic reflectors placed directly below the guideway surface. From the results of preliminary laboratory and on-road tests it is concluded that improved accuracy...

Description
Summary:A method of improving the performance of X-band Doppler radars for ground transport vehicles is presented. The technique utilizes small metallic reflectors placed directly below the guideway surface. From the results of preliminary laboratory and on-road tests it is concluded that improved accuracy of on-board position and velocity measurements result.
