Time characteristics of scattering by radar targets
Abstract
A simple method for calculating the temporal scattering characteristics of radar targets is proposed which involves the calculation of the ramp function in the framwork of the physical-optics approximation. The proposed method can be used to compile a catalog of target profile functions with the aim of target indentification. In addition, the computed profile functions can be used as input data for simulating algorithms for the reconstruction of three-dimensional images of targets (e.g., tomography-based algorithms), Numerical results are compared with experimental data for the 1.08 to 10.8 GHz range.
