The APL RCS/Statistics Code Description, Illustrations of Output, (User's Guide)

Abstract

This report is a description of a computer code that results in the first- and higher-order statistics of radar cross sections of a complex target as a function of frequency, polarization, aspect angle, and constituent parameters of the target. The premise is that a complex target can be represented by a set of simple scatters. There is a general discussion of RCS data; the capabilities of the code from the viewpoint of the RCS analyst or data librarian; the theory of RCS, statistics, lobe structure, and glint embodied in the code; a user's guide from the viewpoint of the computer analyst; and a program listing. Keywords: Radar scintillation statistics, Data storage, Computations, User manuals.
