Performance Analysis on Coherent Receiving Radar Based on Electromagnetic Scattering Characteristics of Target

This paper mainly aims to analyze the performance of distributed coherent receiving radars in perspective of coherent receiving gain which is defined to manifest advantage of coherent processing over a single radar processing. Based on the simulated electromagnetic scattering data of targets using FEKO, coherent receiving gains of three similar shaped targets are computed and analyzed. It is shown that for distributed receiving radars, interval between receiving radars is a significant factor, which should be designed carefully.
