Short Pulse Model Measurement Study.
Abstract
The results of a study program involving the use of a coherent, high range resolution ( < 4 inch ) radar cross section measurement system operating in X-band, an extensive analytical model development study, and a study associated with high range resolution observables are presented. The measurement program consisted of obtaining target signature data and diagnostic data for use in evaluating measurement system performance. The measurement system was demonstrated to have a stability of 0.45 dB and 2.5 degrees standard deviation in amplitude and phase respectively. Signature data was obtained on a large number of small generic shapes and a 4-foot simulated satellite. A large number of analytical models were generated using rigorous, physical optics, and geometrical diffraction theory formulations of scattering characteristics. Data are presented in the form of theoretical short pulse observables and the capability of measurement equipment to detect the observables. (Author)
