RF-Environment Models for the ADSAM Program

Abstract

The Air-Directed Surface-to-Air Missile (ADSAM) Program Environmental Working Group (EWG) was tasked with compiling information related to modeling of RF environmental effects on RF sensor systems. The resulting report contains three major sections: "Section A, Monostatic Clutter Models," "Section B, Bistatic Scattering Models," and "Section C, Atmospheric Propagation Models." Section A addresses the spatial, temporal, and frequency characteristics of rain, cloud, sea, land, bird and insect clutter. Section B provides similar information for bistatic scattering from land and sea. Section C addresses refraction, diffraction, absorption and multipath interference.
