Radar Cross-Section (Rcs) Analysis Of High Frequency Surface Wave Radar Targets, Gonca Çakir, Levent Sevgi̇ Jan 2010

Radar Cross-Section (Rcs) Analysis Of High Frequency Surface Wave Radar Targets, Gonca Çakir, Levent Sevgi̇

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Realistic high frequency surface wave radar (HFSWR) targets are investigated numerically in terms of electromagnetic wave -- target interactions. Radar cross sections (RCS) of these targets are simulated via both the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and the Method of Moments (MoM). The virtual RCS prediction tool that was introduced in previous work is used for these investigations. The virtual tool automatically creates the discrete FDTD model of the target under investigation and performs the FDTD RCS analysis. It also automatically constructs a MoM wire grid model of the target; therefore, it is also possible to compare FDTD results against the …


Modeling And Simulation Strategies In High Frequency Surface Wave Radars, Levent Sevgi̇ Jan 2010

Modeling And Simulation Strategies In High Frequency Surface Wave Radars, Levent Sevgi̇

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Surface Wave High Frequency Radars (SWHFR) are taken into account in the content of modeling and simulation challenges. Examples related to multi-mixed path surface wave propagation, radar cross section (RCS) prediction, and total radar echo showing target, clutter, noise, and interference are presented.
