Backscattering enhancement for partially convex targets of large sizes in continuous random media for E-wave incidence

Abstract The shape of the target constitutes an important factor in the radar detection problem. In a previous study, the enhancement in the radar cross section (ERCS) has proved to be affected largely by the target parameters as well as the effects of the double passage and the spatial coherence length of incident waves around the target. However, the target size was limited to about less than one wavelength. Here, we estimate numerically the RCS of targets taking large sizes of more than three wavelengths, and analyse the characteristics of RCS. Moreover, we investigate the ERCS phenomenon of such targets under different circumstances of random medium and target configuration. In this regard, we assume partially convex targets in continuous random media and also horizontal incident wave polarization (E-wave incidence).
