The Development of a Bistatic Electromagnetic Scattering Laboratory Employing Time Domain Measurement Techniques for Impulse Response Determination and Target Classification.
Abstract
A time domain measurements, electromagnetic scattering laboratory has been developed to provide a means of experimentally measuring the transient, scattered electromagnetic fields from symmetric objects for impulse response determination or target classification. The evolution of the physical laboratory is described in terms of the development of the transmitting and receiving antennas, the interface of the data processing hardware, the signal processing scheme, the software routine functions, and the fabrication of scattering range targets. The smoothed impulse response of a thin wire scatterer is experimentally determined, and a comparison of these measurements is made to a theoretical calculation of the response. (Author)
