Imaging simulation based on fully polarimetric radar of simple manmade targets in a half space

摘要

This paper is based on the application requirements of fully polarimetric radar for near ground and sea targets detection. We have used numerical modeling based on integral equation and multilevel fast multipole algorithm to study and calculate the fully polarimetric far field scattering data of simple manmade targets in a half space to conduct radar imaging. We also have compared the differences of electromagnetic scattering characteristics of some manmade targets with different heights above ground or sea and the radar images. The results have been presented to demonstrated that the combination of the electromagnetic numerical modeling and the radar imaging could identify the simple targets in a half space. The proposed methods could be used to simulate a set of polarimetric radar system to detect manmade targets near ground and sea.
