Calibration of P-3/SAR Wake Data

Abstract

Calibration constants were generated using trihedral comer reflector data collected by the ERIM/NADC P-3 SAR during the 1989 ONR Ship Wake Experiment. These values will be applied to the ONR data to generate absolutely calibrated radar cross-section (RCS) values for the wake feature and ship and normalized RCS values (Sigma sub o) values for the ambient areas. Results of applying the constants to ambient data from the ONR collection to generate absolutely calibrated Sigma sub o measurements are discussed.
