Abstract

An efficient version of the E-pulse method is discussed and generalized in the context of radar target pole retrieval from the scattered field. Its relation to the generalized Prony's method is investigated. It is shown that the E-pulse method can be efficiently implemented using a smoothing-and-sampling procedure and a Prony's approach. The tradeoff between noise insensitivity and computational burden influenced by various parameters is pointed out.<>
