A correlative radar target discrimination scheme using the transient scattered-field response is proposed. This scheme uses a one-dimensional discrete wavelet transform on the temporal response to reduce the amount of data that must be stored for each anticipated aspect angle. Experimental results show that a reduction in stored data of sixteen to one still allows accurate discrimination in adverse noise situations with signal-to-noise ratios as low as -5 dB.>
