Aspect independent radar target discrimination method, using the natural frequencies of arbitrary shaped objects, is introduced. The approach is based on the extinction-pulse (E-pulse) technique and, as the numerical simulation shows, it is relatively insensitive to random noise and to estimations of modal contents. This method allows to discriminate superwide-band radar targets down to the signal-to-noise ratio approximately 5 dB. The results of experimental research of the signals scattered by the arbitrarily shaped objects in lossy media are presented.
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.
