MODELING OF WIDEBAND RADAR MICRO-DOPPLER SIGNATURES FOR A CONING OBJECT

摘要

Micro-motions such as vibration or rotation of an object or the moving parts on it induce frequency modulations on the returned radar signal, called micro-Doppler signature. In this work, a software platform for modeling of the wideband radar micro-Doppler signatures for ballistic objects is developed. This includes kinematic modeling, electromagnetic scattering calculation, and wideband radar return signal modeling and processing. Typical results for a coning object show that simulated signatures are coincident with theoretical results.
