Download or read book Considerations for Analytical Modeling of Target Radar Cross Section as a Function of Aspect Angle written by Alfons Elvermann and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experimental data were available for three different ballistic projectiles, showing the relationship between aspect angle and radar cross section. The geometry parameters are the pitch and roll angles. An effort was undertaken to find an analytical expression describing this relationship. The objective of the work is to find a mathematical model fitting the experimental data. Radar cross section is a function of many factors including orientation of target with respect to the radar, polarization of radar, radar wavelength, the conductivity of the target's surface, and environmental factors. Two approaches were investigated, and a tentative but unproven suggestion derived for simultaneous variation of pitch, roll, and aspect angles. (Author).
