We present a parametric model for radar scattering as a function of frequency and aspect angle. The model is used for analysis of synthetic aperture radar measurements. The estimated parameters provide a concise, physically relevant description of measured scattering for use in target recognition, data compression and scattering studies. The scattering model and an image domain estimation algorithm are applied to two measured data examples.

Gupta, James R. Baxter, Steven W. Ellingson, Hyung-Geun Park, Hyun Seo Oh, and Mun Geon KyeongAbstract-The coupling matrix concept for predicting the radiation patterns of elements of an antenna array is studied. Measured data, as well as some numerical data, are used in the study. It is demonstrated that for some practical antennas of interest whose radiation patterns are affected by structure scattering, the coupling matrix concept may not work very well. As expected, the stronger the structure scattering, the greater the discrepancy between the predicted patterns and the actual patterns.
