Spectrum of radar signal reflected from sea surface

Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Abstract

The theoretical problem of the spectrum of a microwave radar signal reflected from the sea surface is examined with allowance for the simultaneous contributions of two scattering mechanisms — reflective and Bragg. The characteristics of the scattered-field spectrum are studied as functions of wind velocity, radar-beam angle of incidence, radar velocity, and antenna beam width. The results indicate high sensitivity of the spectrum parameters to changes in the sea-surface state.
