A field reradiated by a large surface in the case of widely spaced points of transmission and reception
Abstract
The reradiated field and its statistical characteristics are determined for the case of radar reflections from a large underlying surface and widely spaced points of transmission and reception. The dimensions of the reradiating surface are restricted by the radiation patterns of the transmitting and receiving antennas and by the width of the autocorrelation of the sounding signal envelope. Noise or noiselike signals are used as the sounding signals and the incident wave is assumed to be spherical.
