Radar cross-section (RCS) analysis of high frequency surface wave radar targets
Realistic high frequency surface wave radar (HFSWR) targets are investigated numerically in terms of electromagnetic wave – target interactions. Radar cross sections (RCS) of these targets are simulated via both the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and the Method of Moments (MoM). The virtual RCS prediction tool that was introduced in previous work is used for these investigations. T...
متن کاملPolarimetric bistatic radar scattering behavior of the ocean surface
this paper points out the frequency dependence on the polarimetric radar scattering behavior of the ocean surface in the frequency range 1-18 GHz (Lto Ku-band). We treat this problem with a unifying scattering model named Small Slope Approximation (SSA) to evaluate the Normalized Radar Cross Section (NRCS). The calculations were made by assuming the surface-height spectrum of Elfouhaily et al f...
متن کاملIonosphere Probing with a High Frequency Surface Wave Radar
This paper describes how the ionosphere reflected echoes observed by a high frequency surface wave radar (HFSWR) can be processed to extract information regarding the ionosphere sporadic E (Es) and F2 layers. It is shown that the range/time spectrum contains the data to estimate the occurring time and virtual heights of both the still and drifting Es layer clouds. In addition, for the drifting ...
متن کاملActive Calibration Target for Bistatic Radar Cross-Section Measurements
Either passive calibration targets are expensive and complex to manufacture or their bistatic RCS levels are significantly lower than the monostatic RCS levels of targets such as spheres, dihedraland trihedral corner reflectors. In this paper the performance of an active calibration target with relative high bistatic RCS values is illustrated as a reference target for bistatic RCS measurements....
متن کاملHigh-frequency radar observations of ocean surface currents.
This article reviews the discovery, development, and use of high-frequency (HF) radio wave backscatter in oceanography. HF radars, as the instruments are commonly called, remotely measure ocean surface currents by exploiting a Bragg resonant backscatter phenomenon. Electromagnetic waves in the HF band (3-30 MHz) have wavelengths that are commensurate with wind-driven gravity waves on the ocean ...
