Abstract-Wideband analysis of frequency dispersive geometries is a challenge in inverse scattering problems. Waveguide duct is an important case in aerial targets with dominant returns. Its dispersive behavior affects the range profile analysis due to occurrence of unwanted range extension. A new high frequency analysis using model based parameter estimation (MBPE) approach is presented. A group delay criteria derived from the nonlinear scattering phase response represents the duct length. Wideband sparse measured frequency domain samples of various waveguides are used as inputs to the model. Comparison is made with joint time-frequency analysis (JTFA) and inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) results.
An efficient algorithm is proposed to simulate the backscattering field of a complex marine target and surrounding 3D sea surface as clutter. Sea surface backscattering is simulated based on the numerical solution of the Electric Field Integral Equation by an improved meshing algorithm. The complex target is modeled using the discrete scattering centers independently. Combining the target and sea surface backscattered fields is used to extract the SAR raw data. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified for 2 hypothetical cases.
