Investigation of Scattering Principles. Appendix.
Abstract
The significant technical features of three inverse scattering analyses techniques suitable for Space Object Identification and/or Ballistic Missile Defense are considered in detail. Techniques based on the use of (1) the target phase center, (2) the target polarization spectrum, and (3) a phase center technique of scattering center location are described and experimental data presented. Applications of these techniques to real-time analysis and in the area of target identification with and without knowledge of target motion or orientation are described. Results obtained relative to estimating the size, shape, complexity, and orientation of aerospace targets are presented based on coherent radar measurements obtained through use of static radar signature measurements.
