Accurate remote sensing of conducting objects in random media with plane H-wave polarization

Abstract

In this work, a mechanism is proposed to enhance the remote sensing accuracy of conducting objects located within continuous random media. Through our mechanism, operating frequency would be selected properly for preciously radar detection. In this regard, numerical analysis for the influence of medium characteristics on the radar cross section (RCS) is conducted. Illumination region is assumed as partially convex surface while considering targets having large sizes of about four wavelengths. We handle the effect of various parameters such as the medium randomness intensity and scale size, target configuration having curvature and size and incident waves polarization. Waves are backscattering from objects in both free space and random medium while considering horizontal polarization of incident waves. Such polarization generates creeping waves in which they have an extra impact on the backscattering waves where would be avoided through our mechanism.
