Book Description
It has been shown that extraction of complex natural resonances and residues from exact transient responses via Prony's method is both efficient and accurate. However, in the art of radar interrogation the exact transient response is difficult to obtain and the authors must be content with an approximate one. Knowing the complex natural resonances of objects is essential to one type of radar target discrimination. In this paper the authors consider the use of Prony's method in extracting complex natural resonances from approximate backscattered ramp responses of radar targets. A ramp waveform is used in radar target discrimination because a good approximation to the time domain response can be obtained with only a few harmonically related frequency domain responses via Fourier synthesis. By applying Prony's method to this approximate ramp response, a few dominant resonances which are close to the origin of the complex frequency plane can be extracted. This is quite encouraging because for the purpose of radar target discrimination only a few dominant modes are needed. Objects considered are prolate spheroids, simple wire aircraft models and some realistic aircraft models. The accuracy of this method is found to be good when compared to the results obtained by other techniques.

Radar Imaging of Airborne Targets
Author: Brett Borden
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 9781420069006
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
Radar-based imaging of aircraft targets is a topic that continues to attract a lot of attention, particularly since these imaging methods have been recognized to be the foundation of any successful all-weather non-cooperative target identification technique. Traditional books in this area look at the topic from a radar engineering point of view. Consequently, the basic issues associated with model error and image interpretation are usually not addressed in any substantive fashion. Moreover, applied mathematicians frequently find it difficult to read the radar engineering literature because it is jargon-laden and device specific, meaning that the skills most applicable to the problem's solution are rarely applied. Enabling an understanding of the subject and its current mathematical research issues, Radar Imaging of Airborne Targets: A Primer for Applied Mathematicians and Physicists presents the issues and techniques associated with radar imaging from a mathematical point of view rather than from an instrumentation perspective. The book concentrates on scattering issues, the inverse scattering problem, and the approximations that are usually made by practical algorithm developers. The author also explains the consequences of these approximations to the resultant radar image and its interpretation, and examines methods for reducing model-based error.

Wavelet Applications in Engineering Electromagnetics
Author: Tapan K. Sarkar
Publisher: Artech House
ISBN: 1580532675
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 367
Book Description
Written from an engineering perspective, this unique resource describes the practical application of wavelets to the solution of electromagnetic field problems and in signal analysis with an even-handed treatment of the pros and cons. A key feature of this book is that the wavelet concepts have been described from the filter theory point of view that is familiar to researchers with an electrical engineering background. The book shows you how to design novel algorithms that enable you to solve electrically, large electromagnetic field problems using modest computational resources. It also provides you with new ideas in the design and development of unique waveforms for reliable target identification and practical radar signal analysis. The book includes more then 500 equations, and covers a wide range of topics, from numerical methods to signal processing aspects.
