STUDY OF AIRBORNE MILLIMETER RADAR TECHNIQUES.
Abstract
A detailed study of the radar return from cables at millimeter wavelengths is continued with the inclusion of realistic antenna patterns. It is shown that for a radar system with a high gain and a low sidelobe antenna, the echo voltage from a cable exhibits an oscillatory behavior when the angle of incidence is varied. The period of the oscillation increases as the beamwidth of the antenna is increased and the null-to-null separation is approximately twice the 3-db beamwidth of the antenna. The irregularities in the lobing pattern are explained by the interference between the response due to main lobes and that due to the side lobes.
