Techniques in radar target modeling

An analytic methodology for incorporating modeling directly into the radar system implementation as well as for assessing overall radar target tracking performance is outlined. Attention is given to the elements of mathematical, physical, and system modeling. It is demonstrated that in order to determine total radar system performance, one has to model the target both as a signal reflecting body as well as a dynamic system. The accuracy by which both aspects are modeled determine how well the radar can be designed to achieve a desired level of performance.<
