COMPUTER SIMULATION ROUTINE FOR RADIO FREQUENCY BACKSCATTER: SOME COMPUTER SUBROUTINES FOR THE ANALYSIS OF DIGITALIZED STATIONARY AND ERGODIC DATA

Abstract

Mathematical investigations are being pursued to determine appropriate methods for analyzing digitalized radar backscattered data from missiles. One investigation involves the generation of theorems about, and methods for, analyzing nonstationary processes; the other involves the design of a computer simulation routine which simulates digitalized radar backscattered data. The second investigation provides data containing known information for testing the methods set forth in the first investigation. The data nalysis techniques described are numerical approximations either for the mean value and moments of a continuous random variable or for extensions of harmonic analysis to random processes. Most of the concepts are compiled to provide a single source of information with consistent notation. The statistical variables to be used are defined and derived, an outline of harmonic analysis is presented, numerical approximations are derived, and computer flow diagrams are given for the subroutines.
