3 Radar Targets and Its Reflecting Properties
Fig. 3.3 An example of linear and area targets radar image
Fig. 3.4 Radar images of volume targets
At radar probing (sounding) of different objects, an important role is given to a
relation between target sizes, which we will describe by a some generalized size r,
and by operating wavelength λ, at which a probing is taken place.
1. An object size is comparable with wavelength (r ~ λ). This is a case of resonance
reflection when incident wave excites great currents in radiated object serving as
