Abstract
Since the development of the singularity expansion method (SEM), several authors have attempted to identify targets via their SEM parameters. Many of these techniques require estimate of the poles of all modes that contribute significantly to the late time scattered signal. In this paper we describe a new pole estimation algorithm for target recognition. The new algorithm is compared to existing pole estimation algorithms, and estimation results are shown.
