Description of the Bistatic Radar Terrain Measurements System Equipment

Abstract

The objective of this program was to collect a data base of X-band, bistatic terrain reflectivity data to aid in the design and evaluation of the Electronic Warfare (EW) Systems. Airborne radar platforms were used to obtain data from various types of terrain at various incidence, reflection and out-of- plane angles. Both static and dynamic tests were conducted. The principal reflectivity measure derived from the data was the bistatic reflection coefficient as a function of angle. Spectra were obtained from the dynamic tests.
