Estimation of the Effect of Aerosol Precipitations on Radar Efficiency

Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Abstract

We estimate the error of target-detection probability by a radar, resulting from the effect of aerosol precipitations (AP) deposited on the elements of its antenna-feeder system. Within the framework of this problem, we develop a technique for calculating the radiation pattern (RP) of a mirror antenna in the case where its feeder and reflector are covered by a given AP layer with an arbitrary shape and the known complex relative dielectric permittivity. An example of estimation of the relative error (with respect to the 0.9 confidence level calculated neglecting AP) of target-detection probability is given for the typical case of antenna icing.
