Abstract

A three‐dimensional (3D) finite‐difference–time‐domain (FDTD) scheme is used to study the angular correlation function (ACF) of the scattered fields from continuous random media (volume) with and without a target object present. The FDTD simulations are employed to examine the effectiveness of ACF for object detection in the presence of volumetric clutter. It is shown that the frequency‐averaged ACF can be as much as 10‐dB greater when a target object is present for situations where the target is undetectable by direct examination of the radar cross section only. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

We study a detection method for targets embedded in a clutter en¨ironment based on the 3-D angular correlation function ( ) ACF . The clutter is modeled by randomly distributed small scatterers. The total scattered wa¨e field at the recei¨er is calculated using Monte Carlo simulations, and is used f
