Abstract
System and method for determining the height of an object reflecting a real beam radar signal by receiving the reflected signal with a first and second vertically spaced antennas. Receivers provide two signals indicating the phase of the reflected signals received by the two antennas. A digital processor determines the phase difference between the two signals and calculates the object height.
