Modeling Backgrounds for the Prediction of the Radar Signature of Ground Vehicles
Abstract
In this paper, we present results of modeling radar backgrounds using the program Xpatch. We created a series of backgrounds based on the parameterized Gaussian surface included with Xpatch. We compared the radar backscatter cross sections of these modeled backgrounds with the backscatter of measured backgrounds. Finally, we conclude that the backscatter cross sections of the modeled backgrounds do not match experimental data adequately enough for quantitative use.
