Rapid Backscatter Simulation Techniques for Detailed B-Spline Target Models


Book Description

The report describes a method for rapidly evaluating the simulated radar backscatter signatures of B-spline target models moving relative to a source/receiver. A geometric optics approach is used to estimate the radar return from a complex target surface described by a bicubic B-spline mesh. The method exploits the second-order continuity of bicubic B-spline surfaces to reduce the problem of finding all the specular points associated with each new trajectory position to that of tracking the motion of existing points. In particular, it is shown that the locations of the annihilations and creations of specular paths may be predicted for an entire trajectory, eliminating the need to search the whole surface for specular points as the target moves in relation to the source/receiver. The method is shown to work for the multiple-bounce case as well. The report contains several recommendations for further exploitation of the properties of B-spline surfaces for the tracking of specular points. (fr).

Radar System Analysis and Modeling


Book Description

A thorough update to the Artech House classic Modern Radar Systems Analysis, this reference is a comprehensive and cohesive introduction to radar systems design and performance estimation. It offers you the knowledge you need to specify, evaluate, or apply radar technology in civilian or military systems. The book presents accurate detection range equations that let you realistically estimate radar performance in a variety of practical situations. With its clear, easy-to-understand language, you quickly learn the tradeoffs between choice of wavelength and radar performance and see the inherent advantages and limitations associated with each radar band. You find modeling procedures to help you analyze enemy systems or evaluate radar integrated into new weapon systems. The book covers ECM and ECCM for both surveillance and tracking to help you estimate the effects of active and passive ECM, select hardware/software for reconnaissance or jamming, and plan the operation of EW systems. As radar systems evolve, this book provides the equations needed to calculate and evaluate the performance of the latest advances in radar technology.




The Micro-doppler Effect in Radar


Book Description

The Doppler Effect can be thought of as the change in frequency of a wave for an observer moving relative to the source of the wave. In radar, it is used to measure the velocity of detected objects. This highly practical resource provides thorough working knowledge of the micro-Doppler effect in radar, including its principles, applications and implementation with MATLAB codes. The book presents code for simulating radar backscattering from targets with various motions, generating micro-Doppler signatures, and analyzing the characteristics of targets. In this title, professionals will find detailed descriptions of the physics and mathematics of the Doppler and micro-Doppler effect. The book provides a wide range of clear examples, including an oscillating pendulum, a spinning and precession heavy top, rotating rotor blades of a helicopter, rotating wind-turbine blades, a person walking with swinging arms and legs, a flying bird, and movements of quadruped animals.
