Comparison Of Radar Snr Performance Over Same Range For Various Shaped Target Objects

Abstract

For a more precise detection of an object by radar, it is important to understand the significance of RCS prediction. Accurate prediction of RCS is critical in order to design and develop robust discrimination algorithms. This paper proposes the significance of RCS in radar performance by demonstrating the SNR performance of radar for some particular shaped objects. In this study we derived and simulated the RCS equation for various shaped object and thus presented an overall comparison of SNR variation for change in target shape. From simulation result it is revealed that for a large RCS, at constant range the radar gives better SNR performance.
