چکیده

A rigorous method-of-moments (MoM) analysis is used to model wide-band scattering from general three-dimensional perfectly conducting objects buried in a lossy layered medium. Here, we focus on ordnance buried in a half space (soil). The time-domain fields scattered from a tilted antitank mine are examined in detail as a function of polarization and observation position.

Ultrawide-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar for Detection of Unexploded Ordnance: Modeling and Measurements

Electromagnetic (EM) scattering from subsurface unexploded ordnance (UXO) is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Three EM models are considered: the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA), the method of moments (MoM), and physical optics (PO). The relative accuracy of these models is compared for several scattering scenarios. Moreover, the model results are compared to data...

Paired Pulse Basis Functions for the Method of Moments EFIE Solution of Electromagnetic Problems Involving Arbitrarily- shaped, Three-dimensional Dielectric Scatterers

A pair of basis functions is presented for the surface integral, method of moment solution of scattering by arbitrarily-shaped, three-dimensional dielectric bodies. Equivalent surface currents are represented by orthogonal unit pulse vectors in conjunction with triangular patch modeling. The electric field integral equation is employed with closed geometries for dielectric bodies; the method ma...

Simulation of radar sounder echo from lunar surface layer and detection of lunar subsurface structure

In lunar exploration, spaceborne high frequency (HF) radar sounder is an effective tool for investigation of lunar subsurface structure in lunar exploration [1] [2]. The primary strategy for radar sounder detection of subsurface structure is through the time delay and intensity difference of the lunar surface and subsurface nadir echoes (Figure 1). It is important to fully understand electromag...

A Finite Element Method for the Electromagnetic Characterization of Quasi-Magnetostatic Problems Found in UXO Detection and Discrimination

A Finite Element Method (FEM) is presented to solve for the scattered magnetic vector potential from arbitrarily polarized targets typical of those encountered in Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) detection. Most previously developed numerical methods only solved problems in which axial symmetry could be exploited. This, of course, severely limits the capabilities and utility of such methods. The metho...
