Title: Modeling and Simulation of Airborne Bistatic Radar Clutter
Abstract: This paper shows modeling and simulation of airborne bistatic radar (both transmitter and receiver are phased array with directional antenna) clutter (land, sea, rain and chaff) when a full controlled and well synchronized transmitter is existed. Bistatic radar is known to have advantages of higher stealth target detectability, better survivability, and more applicability compared to monostatic radar. To achieve full potential performance of airborne bistatic radar, understanding of airborne bistatic radar clutter is essential. Thus, in this paper, the modeling and simulation of airborne bistatic radar clutter map is presented when the airborne bistatic radar is target search look-down medium pulse repetition frequency (MPRF) mode. The model considers bistatic radar geometry, divides the surface into small patches, and maps the patches to the corresponding range and Doppler domain. Clutter spectrum broadening due to internal clutter motion (ICM) is also adopted.
