Abstract
A radar receives reflected signals from various objects to detect a target. Undesired object, called clutter, as well as the target generates reflected signals. The clutter radar cross section(RCS) is dependent on many factors, which are the antenna pattern, distance between the radar and the target, and the height of the target and the radar. Herein, surface clutter RCS for ground-based radar is analyzed, and the effect of the surface clutter RCS on the received signal is investigated.
