Preliminary Calculated Scatter from Trihedral Corner Reflector with WIPL-D

Abstract

WIPL-D is being used to compute monostatic and bistatic radar cross sections of a trihedral corner reflector over the frequency range of 1-12 GHz. Initial results are discussed for vertically and horizontally polarized fields at two frequencies (1.5 and 3.8 GHz). These computations are being used to provide a benchmark against which the performance of WIPL-DP. a parallelized version of the WIPL-D. may be compared. Recently. sea-scatter data was collected from 1.9- 11.5 GHz with trihedral reflectors. Since the WIPL-D calculations discussed here. as well as planned calculations. will be used to provide predictions of sea scatter that will be compared to the actual data. the sea-scatter geometry is described.
