Simulation of the electromagnetic scattering from complex scattering targets

Abstract

With the goal of developing a dynamic, time-domain, simulation tool, different techniques for predicting the complex scattered electromagnetic fields are examined. Emphasis is placed upon evaluating the ability of certain RCS prediction methods to produce a high fidelity model of the static phase relationships of scattering mechanisms of a complex scattering body. Future exploration will focus on the phase effects of dynamic movement of these mechanisms within a radar measurement.
