MULTIFREQUENCY LAND CLUTTER MODELING INFORMATION

5.1 INTRODUCTION

Chapter 5 provides land clutter modeling information for surface-sited radar based on comprehensive reduction of extensive multifrequency land clutter measurement data from 42 different sites. The survey clutter measurements upon which this information is based are described in Chapter 3 (see also [1]). The clutter modeling information that follows is provided for general terrain and for eight specific terrain types. For each terrain type, the modeling information is further partitioned by the relief of the terrain and by the depression angle below the horizontal from the radar to the backscattering terrain point.

For each terrain type/relief/depression angle combination of ...
