Ultra wideband radar target discrimination using the signatures algorithm

Abstract

-An aspect independent radar target discrimination method based on the natural frequencies of ultra wideband radar targets is introduced. The sets of points in multi-dimension space corresponding to the poles on a complex plane (natural resonances) were offered as signatures of radar targets. This approach allows performing an automated discrimination algorithm of radar targets. The results of experimental research of the signals scattered by the scaled aircraft models by using the signatures algorithm are presented.

“…Investigation using genetic algorithm is underway to substantiate this hypothesis. And, while the complex natural resonances from the impairments could be aspect dependent, the ones from the target will in general not be (Baev 2003). …”
