Description

In this study we examined how the direction of arrival determination of meteor radar echoes behaved in collection of interferometric radar system. These methods are general and can be applied on any system, we chose five radar systems currently used to perform meteor studies. Specifically we examine when and if the direction of arrival is of ambiguous and with what probability it occurs as a function of signal to noise ratio.
