Measurement of a Back_Scattered Electromagnetic Signature from Simple Targets.
Student: Chye Kim Chua
Supervisor: Nick Shuley
Category: Engineering Thesis Project - Signal Processing
This thesis is one of the “spin-offs” from electromagnetic as applied to remote sensing using pulsed radar. The main objective of this thesis is to take measurement of a back-scattered electromagnetic signature from simple targets. As each object or target has its own unique backscatter field pattern, good measurement techniques are required to eliminate unwanted components
For this thesis, three main targets are used for measurements. They are sphere, flat plate and simple wire. However, due to many unforeseen problems and time constrain, only the radar cross section (RCS) of the sphere and flat plate are measured. Analyzing the measured results of two simple targets (sphere and flat plate) compared to the theoretical results will be done. Using the classical antenna measurement technique in frequency domain, RCS of sphere and flat plate are taken.
Hence, different targets’ backscattered electromagnetic signature measurement even complex targets can be measure using this setup.
