CHAPTER 20 HEIGHT FINDING AND 3 DRADARD avid J. MurrowGeneral Electric HEIGHTFINDINGRADARSANDTECHNIQUESE arly radar Techniques for Height Finding. Early radar techniques em-ployed to find target height were classified according to whether or not theearth's surface was used in the measurement. The practice of using the earth'ssurface for height finding was quite common in early radar because antennaand transmitter technologies were limited to lower radio frequencies and broadelevation beams. The first United States operational shipborne radar , laterdesignated CXAM and developed in 1939 by the Naval ResearchLaboratory (NRL), used the range of first detection of a target to estimate itsheight, based on a knowledge of the shape of the pattern near the horizon dueto the primary multipath null.
