This paper presents techniques of 2-D scattering center extraction and 2-B ISAR(Inverse SAR) image formation for scattering wave which is scattered by a target. In general, 2-D IFFT is widely used to obtain 2-D scattering center and ISAR image of targets. But, this method has drawbacks, that is poor in a resolution aspect. To overcome these shortcomings with the FT(Fourier Transform)-based method, various techniques of high resolution signal processing were developed. In this paper, algorithms of 2-D scattering center extraction and ISAR image formation such as 2-D MEMP(Matrix Enhancement and Matrix Pencil), 2-D ESPRIT(Estimation of Signal Parameter via Rotational Invariance Techniques) are described. In order to show the performances of each algorithm, we use scattering wave of the ideal point scatterers and F-18 aircraft to estimate 2-D scattering center and abtain 2-D ISAR image.

In this paper we applied a ray tracing method to estimate the scattering characteristics from large scale random rough surfaces. For the electromagnetic field evaluation, we have used the diffracted coefficient of the knife edge diffraction for the diffracted rays and Fresnel's reflection coefficients in connection with reflected rays. In addition, we examine to search for the traced rays using the imaging method which can be obtained all rays to arrived at receivers accurately and the diffracted field from rough surfaces is considered. Numerical examples have been carried out for the scattering characteristics of an ocean wave-like rough surface and delay spread characteristics of a building-like surface. In the present work we have demonstrated that the ray tracing method is effective to numerical analysis of a rough surface scattering.

The electromagnetic scattering characteristics by a periodic strip grating on a grounded dielectric slab for TM polarization case are examined from the viewpoints of both the reflection grating and the leaky wave antenna problems. Numerical results far two kinds of Bragg blazing (resonance type and non-resonance type) phenomena are given and some discussions on the properties(complex propagation constants, scattering characteristics, and distributions of strip current density) are presented. The comparison of the Bragg blazing phenomena between TM and TE polarization cases are also given in detail.

Non-destructive technique to measure internal structure and constant distribution of material can be widely used to exploration of mineral resources, identification of underground cables and buried pipelines, and diagnostic imaging in medical area. In this paper, we considered 2-dimensional EM scattering problem. Radiation pattern in far field is estimated by using some measured information obtained from near-field solutions.

An improved method of moments using a hybrid Galerkin-interpolation technique for numerical analysis of electromagnetic wave scattering in the 3-dimensional space is presented in this paper. Basically, the EFIE(electric field integral equation) and RWG(Rao-Wilton-Glisson) basis function are used to compute a property of electromagnetic wave scattering. We propose a hybrid technique combining the existing Galerkin's method with the interpolation method to improve the efficiency of the numerical computation. Then, an index of relative distance of each cells was defined to distinguish the relatively far elements, which interpolation method can be applied. To verify the performance of the proposed technique, the analytical Mie-series solution was used to compute the theoretical RCS of a conducting sphere for the purpose of comparison. We also applied this hybrid technique to various scatterers such as trihedral/omni-directional corner-reflectors to analyze the radar backscattering properties.

This paper presents high resolution techniques of three-dimensional(3D) scattering center extraction for a radar backscattered signal in radar target recognition. We propose a 3D pairing procedure, a new approach to estimate 3D scattering centers. This pairing procedure is more accurate and robust than the general criterion. 3D MEMP(Matrix Enhancement and Matrix Pencil) with the 3D pairing procedure first creates an autocorrelation matrix from radar backscattered field data samples. A matrix pencil method is then used to extract 3D scattering centers from the principal eigenvectors of the autocorrelation matrix. An autocorrelation matrix is constructed by the MSSP(modified spatial smoothing preprocessing) method. The observation matrix required for estimation of 3D scattering center locations is built using the sparse scanning order conception. In order to demonstrate the performance of the proposed technique, we use backscattered field data generated by ideal point scatterers.

In this paper, we proposed the image-based 3D ray-tracing indoor propagation model using patch scattering model which can calculate the scattering phenomenon of the indoor structures. A patch scattering model for modeling indoor structures defines a scattering phenomenon by using RCS(Radar Cross Section) about rectangular patch without complex calculation, for example generating image antennas about each indoor structures. RCS is simply defined as a ratio of scattering power to incident power, and we use bistatic PCS which is simplified numerically by Physical Optics. Also, a simple indoor compensation factor is defined as empirical constant from measured data instead of complex numerical expression because basic patch scattering model cannot include important multipath components, so we san use patch scattering model in indoor environment using indoor compensation factor.

Two types of radiative coupling in the 2-dimensional aperture to scatterer coupling problems are described with an emphasis on the main difference between the two types. In particular, detailed comparison is made from the viewpoint of the Quality factor between two types.

The Radiative Transfer Model(RTM) for computation of microwave polarimetric backscattering coefficients of a various types of vegitation canopies has been examined in this paper. Leaves in the vegitation canopy are modeled by rectangular resistive sheets, which sizes and orientations are randomly distributed. Surface roughness and soil moisture of soil surface are considered in this computation. The backscattering coefficients of grasslands are computed for various values of radar parameters and canopy parameters. A polarimetric scatterometer radar system at 15 GHz has been used for measurement of the scattering coefficient from a grass canopy and a cabbage canopy. The computation results obtained by the RTM for the canopies are compared with the measurement for examination of the RTM.
