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
The process of the measurement of the radar cross section of objects using a test range is described in this recommended practice. The term radar cross section (RCS) is defined, and the characteristics of different types of test ranges are given. The responsibilities of the test range operators are shown to involve test and calibration of the measurement range systems and to take the measurements ...Show More
This work presents a novel aspect for measurement and implementation of a radar cross section (RCS) using the polarimetric backscattered power under ground-based Synthetic Aperture Radar (GB-SAR) environment. Special attention is given to combine the GB-SAR principle with RCS measurement in order to determine the polarimetric backscatter characteristics of canonical targets along the azimuth direc...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...

Applications for radar systems are continuously being developed, particularly in the remote sensing and positioning of searched objects in disaster and forest areas. In this paper, the concept of radar cross section (RCS) measurements for acquiring and identifying the polarimetric backscatter characteristics of canonical targets is presented. This concept is achieved with the principle of using gr...Show More
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
Scattering mechanisms of radar targets are analysed using Radar Cross-Section (RCS) images. Those measurements are performed in an anechoic chamber to avoid external influences having an impact on the results. An unambiguous range covering the whole measurement chamber to avoid aliasing effects can be accomplished depending on the frequency step size. Taking into account a high bandwidth to enable...Show More
Earth observation from airborne and spaceborne platforms using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has provided scientists and researchers with a deeper understanding of the planet for geological studies, weather forecasting, and disaster mitigation, among others. Aiming to develop our own spaceborne synthetic aperture radar for the purpose of environmental remote sensing, we have a program to test our...Show More
Automotive radars, along with optical sensors such as cameras or lidars, offer a reliable way of obtaining the 3-D information about the environment. Of particular interest in autonomous driving (AD) is the reliable detection of particularly vulnerable road users (VRUs). Modern radar sensors are able to detect, distinguish, and track targets with high resolution. Relying on that, a backscattering ...Show More
The measurement accuracy of radar cross section (RCS) based on radar image is usually affected by the image quality. The sidelobe and clutter in the image will reduce the accuracy of RCS measurement. In order to solve the problem, a RCS measurement method based on near-field L1 regularized three-dimensional (3D) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging is proposed. Compared with the traditional matc...Show More
Understanding the backscattering behavior of traffic objects is essential to approach realistic simulation results from evaluating the functionality of the automotive radar in over-the-air (OTA) validation test methods. This demands collecting the radar cross section (RCS) of vulnerable road users (VRUs) simultaneously with micro-Doppler information arising from their movement, especially those wi...Show More
79 GHz band has recently attracted considerable interests as vehicular UWB radar for safe driving and self-driving because it should detect even small objects disassembled. Radar cross-section (RCS) is a measure of how detectable an object is with a radar. Some RCS measurement results for vehicles have been reported for 24GHz and 77GHz. However, these reports make no mention of the frequency chara...Show More
Systems of active defense of vehicles or buildings are based on detection and measurement of potentially dangerous anti-armor missiles. Radar measurement of these missiles is complicated by their usually very low radar cross-section (RCS) values. Knowledge of RCS values plays crucial role in design of reliable detection system.
