Remarks on "Comments on 'Signal Resolution via Digital Inverse Filtering"'

Published comments on a recent paper criticized the use of inverse filtering as applied to resolution of overlapping radar signal returns. It is shown that an inadequate model of the inverse filter was assumed by the critic, which lead him to predict excessive time sidelobes at the filter output. It is demonstrated, by computer simulation, that the time sidelobes at the output of the true inverse filter are down 30 dB or more.
