Millimeter-wave bistatic scattering from ground and vegetation targets

Millimeter-wave bistatic scattering from ground and vegetation targets

A 35-GHz bistatic radar system was used to measure the attenuation through trees and the bistatic scattering pattern of tree foilage. The data were found to be in good agreement with a first-order multiple scattering model. Measurements were also made to study the angular vibration of the bistatic s...

Zusammenfassung:A 35-GHz bistatic radar system was used to measure the attenuation through trees and the bistatic scattering pattern of tree foilage. The data were found to be in good agreement with a first-order multiple scattering model. Measurements were also made to study the angular vibration of the bistatic scattering coefficient of a smooth sand surface, a rough sand surface, and a gravel surface. The measurements, which were made for HH, HV (horizontal transmit, verticle receive), and VV polarization configurations over a wide range of the azimuth angle and the scattering angle, provide a quantitative reference for the design and use of millimeter-wave bistatic radar systems.< >
