Simulation Detection Power of Shore-Based Radar under the Influence of Sea Clutter

Abstract:

According to the principle of electromagnetic wave propagation and the model of radar multipath propagation, this paper established radar detection power model in natural space under the impact of sea clutter, and on condition that conducting simulations to study detection power of shore-based radars on different altitudes and different operating frequencies. Simulation results indicate that when the radar operating frequency is constant, with the erection height increases, the detection range will increase at the same time, while significantly reduced about blind region. When the radar erection height is constant, blind region is filled with radars working at C, S and X operating frequencies. The effect of blind filling is of great importance for adjacent bands. This paper provides theoretical reference analysis for radar detection power assessing and overall with a strong engineering application value.
