Recently, several studies were conducted on the micro-Doppler(MD) phenomenon to identify a warhead from decoys. Both, the warhead and decoy, can be modeled as various shapes and maneuver with their own micro-motion. Their MD phenomenon can be demonstrated by amplitude modulation and phase modulation. Most studies have utilized approximate solutions to express the amplitude modulation regardless of various warhead and decoy shapes. However, the exact solution of the amplitude modulation is required for more effective warhead identification. In this study, we proposed a new modeling method of receiving radar signals from warheads and decoys based on physical optics. The proposed solution was evaluated using an electromagnetic prediction technique and computer-aided design models.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
