Book Description
Problems related to the detection of targets in the presence of clutter and ground are investigated. The two basic problems are the change in the target response due to the presence of the ground and the recognition of the target response when contaminated with clutter return. The transient fields of short dipoles in the presence of a dielectric half-space are examined and exact closed-form solutions are obtained for some particular source and observation points. The solution for the case of the source and observation points coincident is used to determine the interaction between a dipole source and the interface and the resultant dipole impedance change. The same solutions are used to compute the change in the dipole modes of scatterers due to the presence of a half-space, particularly the shift in the s-plane poles of the target. Results are presented for both dielectric and perfectly conducting half-spaces. (Author).

Complex Natural Resonances of an Object in Detection and Discrimination
Author: Richard K. Mains
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Radar
Languages : en
Pages : 60
Book Description
The report extends and formalizes the concept of using the complex natural resonances of objects as a tool in radar target discrimination. The complex natural resonances which characterize an object are found to be excitation invariant; i.e., the positions of the resonances in the complex frequency plane do not shift as the object is viewed along different incident directions or with different polarizations, which permit a minimum amount of data to be used in object discrimination. Once the dominant (low frequency or long time) natural resonances have been obtained for those objects of interest, a predictor-correlator type of processing can be applied to multi-frequency radar scattering data from an unknown target. It can be established from which of the known objects the scattering most likely originated. This done on the basis of correlations among the scattering and the various sets of natural resonances; the set of natural resonances showing the highest correlation identifies the most probable target.

Continuation of the Investigation of Multi-frequency Radar Reflectivity and Radar Target Identification
Author: D. L. Moffatt
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Airplanes
Languages : en
Pages : 38
Book Description
This report summarizes research during the period July 1, 1974 to June 30, 1975 under the contract on two technical objectives of the Air Force: improved detection and discrimination of radar targets and reduction of nonspecular scattering by wing geometries. The report is contained in two main sections. The first section outlines methods for deducing the complex natural resonances of arbitrary radar targets and the use of these resonances via predictor-correlator processing for detection and discrimination. Illustrative examples of both natural resonance extraction and discrimination are given for aircraft targets. The second section of the report summarizes the analysis of a loaded two-dimensional wind model for horizontal polarization. Hybrid techniques combining moment methods and the geometrical theory of diffraction are used and the loading consists of surface impedance patches. Examples of reduction of the nonspecular cross section are given. A 'folded dipole' like antenna is used as an alternate mechanism for controlling edge diffracted fields.
