A plane-wave synthesis approach for determining the 3D monostatic radar cross section from a set of near-field measurements is presented. Compared to image based techniques, it does not suffer from inaccuracies in the case of multiple interactions. At the same time, very general measurement setups are possible without introducing severe truncation errors and the resulting field transformation prob...Show More

A coherent X-band radar was operated from the shore to measure velocities at the sea surface. The test site at a tidal inlet (Lister Tief) in the German Bight lay protected from swell and long wind waves. A vertical-vertical antenna was used to obtain the backscattered radar signal caused by Bragg scattering. To cover a sector of the circle, the antenna was rotated in 1Dstrok steps. At each step, ...Show More

Traffic speed enforcement is becoming more reliant on automated speed-detection devices, particularly the use of photographically linked slant radar devices. We have conducted an analysis of whether target-aspect-dependent radar cross section (RCS) could have an effect on the accuracy of speed measurements. It was found that there is the potential for a 2.5% error (for a radar aligned at 22" to th...

2012 Asia Pacific Microwave Conference Proceedings
Year: 2012 | Conference Paper |
Cited by: Papers (3)
An improved version of the cylindrical near-field-to-far-field transformation (NFFFT) with computational complexity comparable to that of the circular NFFFT is described. Instead of producing a 3D radar image the proposed approach generates a 2D projection of the image on the plane, in which the radar cross section is to be determined. The imaging operator is modified so as to allow probes with di...Show More
