ABSTRACT

This chapter contains results of the radar scattering characteristic computer simulation for a number of airborne and ground objects that were obtained using methods developed. It presents the following radar scattering characteristics: circular diagrams of instantaneous RCS, as wells as mean and median RCS values in specific angular sectors of the object illumination. The chapter considers the noncoherent RCS to be computed as a sum of RCSs of all parts of ellipsoids and edges constituting the object surface model. Since the radar target aspect can be regarded as random value, its RCS at any given moment can be regarded as random value too. Probability distribution of such random value can be evaluated by diagrams of instantaneous RCS obtained as a result of computation or experiment.
