Abstract

The electromagnetic scattering models of complex radar targets, e.g. aircrafts, vehicles etc, are of great significance to Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery. Based on the Graphical Electromagnetic Computing (GRECO) technique, a novel implementation method of complex radar target modeling for the simulation of high-resolution SAR image is proposed. The three-dimensional (3-D) scattering modeling of the complex radar targets is founded on the basis of GRECO. Furthermore, high-resolution SAR image simulation is implemented through echo simulation and image formation procedure with the 3D scatting data generated by using GRECO. Computer simulation results of an aircraft target are provided, with high-resolution millimeter wave SAR system parameters, which illustrate the radar image characteristics such as foreshortening, layover as well as shadowing. The datasets of simulated SAR images with different elevation and azimuth angles are presented, verifying the effectiveness of the method of the paper. The simulated high-resolution SAR images could be applied in ATR research as the input source data.
