Measured Resonant-Region Radar Scattering by Trucks and Jeeps.

Abstract

This report describes measured free-space radar backscatter properties of a 6 x 6 truck with and without a cargo space, and a jeep. Measurements were carried out at 10 GHz on a model scattering range with models scaled to cover a 10:1 frequency range in the lower resonance region. Both conventional radar cross-section patterns and backscatter phase patterns are presented, as well as curves of dual-frequency phase signatures. Measured results are at horizontal polarization and for elevation angles of 0 deg, 10 deg, 20 deg, and 30 deg. The measurement procedure is discussed and the results are presented to emphasize changes in scattering due to both frequency and elevation angle. (Author)
