STUDY OF AIRBORNE MILLIMETER RADAR TECHNIQUES

Abstract

Technical progress is reported on a study entitled, Airborne Millimeter Radar Techniques Study (Obstacle Avoidance). Work continued on the following principal tasks: advanced sensor techniques; mathematical system modeling for computer simulation; and millimeter radar experiments. Research into clutter discrimination by means of frequency agility is presented. A model was developed which exhibits the characteristics of observed clutter. The transmitted frequency was varied and the electric field reradiated from the model, was computed. The results indicate a marked dependence of the backscatter signal on the amount of frequency agility. Spectra are presented which indicate energy shift over the clutter band.
