Low altitude target model for radar simulation

A simulation model of antenna array signals from a low altitude target is considered. Explicit expressions for statistical and spectral characteristics of the scattered signals are obtained in the Kirchhoff approximation.

Description
Summary:A simulation model of antenna array signals from a low altitude target is considered. Explicit expressions for statistical and spectral characteristics of the scattered signals are obtained in the Kirchhoff approximation. The model permits to evaluate the efficiency of different techniques of low altitude target tracking. It benefits the comprehension of the influence of multipath propagation on tracking radars.
