STUDY OF INFLUENCE OF THE ROUGH BOUNDARY ON RADAR REFLECTIVITY OF ISOTROPIC REFLECTOR

Abstract

The different models of the process have been attempted to calculate the propagation factor V. We propose a
model of sea wave propagation and scattering for centimeter and decimeter waves for sea targets. The proposed model is
based on a model for the radar reflectivity of the ship, taken as a set of localized backscatterers and on a four-path
model of wave propagation above the sea expressions are obtained for the propagation factor dependence on the range
of the ship, on the height of the radar antenna and on the sea surface roughness characteristics. Thus the key task in the
considered problem is to calculate sea surface influence on radar reflectivity of isotropic reflector within grazing
elevation angles.
