What is it about?
In this paper, we revisit the impulse response of a perfectly conducting sphere from a short pulse excitation. From the basics associated with that response, we assess a novel late response turn-on time criterion that we investigate by means of simulation. In this way, we determine a better late response turn-on time criterion compared to the well-established one used in natural resonance estimation algorithms in the literature so far. The results obtained are in agreement with those expected from the theory

Why is it important?
Intensive research is still being carried out at the present time to determine a reliable strategy that allows for the estimation of late response turn-on time for targets with arbitrary shape and orientation in non-collaborative scenarios for varied purposes. In this research, we have demonstrated that the late response turn-on time should be defined as soon as the early-time response has extinguished instead of waiting for a complete interaction of the incident pulse with a small perfect electric conductor (PEC) sphere.
Perspectives
Given the results obtained from this research, we hope to develop an algorithm for the discrimination of the early response turn-off time for non-cooperative targets regardless of their geometry and aspect angle.
