Optical backscattering measurements from fractal surfaces and their possible relevance to radar scattering from the sea surface

In spite of recent progress, existing theories of electromagnetic wave scattering by rough surfaces cannot yet explain several important features of microwave sea echo, particularly in grazing incidence geometries. To explain them it is necessary to develop scattering models that can reproduce the features in a robust way. The aim of this paper is to report laboratory optical frequency experiments designed to aid achievement of this objective. In particular, polarization sensitive measurements of the backscattered intensity are reported for a range of characterized fractal surfaces using visible laser radiation. The appearance of enhanced backscattering peaks are observed even quite close to grazing incidence for some types of surfaces and indicate the importance of multiple scattering. It is also shown that the dependence of the backscattering cross-section on incidence angle bears some gross similarities to that obtained from microwave scattering from the sea surface for high index fractal surfaces that exhibit intermittency.     

Performance comparison of detection methods for weak target based on two-dimensional fractal sea surface

A detection method of the weak radar target is studied by applying fuzzy theory and multifractal correlation theory based on a two-dimensional fractal sea surface model. Firstly, a two-dimensional fractal sea surface model and its backscattering coefficient are introduced, the backscattering coefficient is a universal model affected by seawater permittivity, electromagnetic wave incidence angle, incident frequency, wind speed and wind direction factors. A novel two-dimensional wideband radar echo model, which is considered as a time-domain convolution of the stepped frequency signal radiated by airborne radar and the backscattering coefficient, is derived. Secondly, multifractal correlation theory is elaborated and a computation method of a membership degree of multifractal correlation spectrum is proposed, fuzzy theory and the AdaBoost algorithm are applied to the target detection. Finally, several target detection methods are compared with CA-CFAR and works of the predecessors. The results of the comparative study show its rationality of the two-dimensional wideband radar echo model and the superiority of wideband radars in detection performance, it is also seen that the multifractal correlation spectrum outperforms the multifractal spectrum in the probability of detection.     

Study of the Electromagnetic Scattering from the Very Rough Fractal Sea Surface

In this paper, based on the fundamental formulae of the first-order and second-order Kirchhoff approx-imation and with consideration of the shadowing effect, the backscattering enhancement of the one-dimensional veryrough fractal sea surface with Pierson-Moskowitz spectrum is studied under the second-order Kirchhoff approximationat microwave frequency. The numerical results are compared with those of the first-order Kirchhoff approximation andintegral equation method. The dependencies of the bistatic scattering cross section and the backscattering enhancementon the incident angle, fractal dimension, and windspeed over the sea surface are analyzed in detail.     

Radar backscattering from Gerstner's sea surface wave

In the framework of a two-scale scattering model, radar backscattering from the rough sea surface was considered. The sea surface was modelled as a superposition of a nonlinear, large-scale Gerstner's wave and small-scale resonant Bragg scattering ripples. The zero-order diffracted field was found by a geometrical optics approach, with shadowing taken into account, and by an 'exact' solution of the diffraction problem obtained numerically. For vertical and horizontal polarizations, the spatial distribution of specific scattering cross sections along the large-scale wave was obtained. The spatially averaged specific backscattering cross sections, as well as the mean Doppler frequency shifts at both polarizations, obtained by the geometrical optics approach are compared with those obtained by using the 'exact' solution of the large-scale diffraction problem. The roles of shadowing and multiple wave scattering processes are discussed, and qualitative explanations of the difference between these two approaches are given.     

A Study of Optical Backscattering Enhancement from One-Dimensional Rough Surface Using Monte Carlo Method

In this paper, according to Kirchhoff approximation, the optical backscattering enhancement of one-dimensional random rough surface, which includes fractal rough surfaces and random rough surfaces with Gaussian and exponential correlation simulated by Monte Carlo method, is obtained. It is shown that backscattering enhancement of random rough surfaces will increase with increasing the rms height of rough surface for a given correlation length. The angle width of backscattering enhancement is directly proportional to incident wavelength and inverse proportional to correlation length of rough surface. Complex phase of scattering field from superposed rough surface is uniformly distributed, none of the directions is of more overweight. The backscattering enhancement is also studied by wavelet analysis. The numerical results show good consistent with that of the relative references.     

Electromagnetic backscattering from one-dimensional drifting fractal sea surface Ⅱ:Electromagnetic backscattering model

Sea surface current has a significant influence on electromagnetic(EM) backscattering signals and may constitute a dominant synthetic aperture radar(SAR) imaging mechanism. An effective EM backscattering model for a one-dimensional drifting fractal sea surface is presented in this paper. This model is used to simulate EM backscattering signals from the drifting sea surface. Numerical results show that ocean currents have a significant influence on EM backscattering signals from the sea surface. The normalized radar cross section(NRCS) discrepancies between the model for a coupled wavecurrent fractal sea surface and the model for an uncoupled fractal sea surface increase with the increase of incidence angle,as well as with increasing ocean currents. Ocean currents that are parallel to the direction of the wave can weaken the EM backscattering signal intensity, while the EM backscattering signal is intensified by ocean currents propagating oppositely to the wave direction. The model presented in this paper can be used to study the SAR imaging mechanism for a drifting sea surface.

Application of the method of equivalent edge currents to composite scattering from the cone-cylinder above a dielectric rough sea surface

Compared with scattering from a rough surface only, composite scattering from a target above a rough surface has become so practical that it is a subject of great interest. At present, this problem has been solved by some numerical methods which will produce an enormous calculation amount. In order to overcome this shortcoming, the reciprocity theorem (RT) and the method of equivalent edge currents (MEC) are used in this paper. Due to the advantage of RT, the difficulty in computing the secondary scattered fields is reduced. Simultaneously, MEC, a high-frequency method with edge diffraction considered, is used to calculate the scattered field from the cone-cylinder target with a high accuracy and efficiency. The backscattered field and the polarization currents of the rough sea surface are evaluated by the Kirchhoff approximation (KA) method and physical optics (PO) method, respectively. The effects of the backscattering radar cross section (RCS) and the Doppler spectrum on the size of the target and the windspeed of the sea surface for different incident angles are analysed in detail.     

Ship motion estimation from polarized Doppler spectra from ship wakes on two-dimensional sea surfaces

Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the Doppler spectra from ship wakes on two-dimensional sea surfaces and further estimate the ship motion characteristics. The analysis of the ship wakes is helpful to detect the existence of ships on sea surface. And it will be an alternative method when the radar cross-section values are not competent to identify the ship target. In the study, Doppler spectra for different polarizations are compared with and without ship’s wakes based on the second-order small slope approximation method. As expected, there appears the second spectral peak when ship’s wake is considered. Moreover, the ship velocities, wind speed, and direction are also analyzed. As the results shown, there is a good linearity relation between the position of the second Doppler spectral peak and the ship velocity. Therefore, it is feasible to detect ship according the Doppler spectra.     

Numerical study of electromagnetic scattering from one-dimensional nonlinear fractal sea surface

In recent years, linear fractal sea surface models have been developed for the sea surface in order to establish an electromagnetic backscattering model. Unfortunately, the sea surface is always nonlinear, particularly at high sea states. We present a nonlinear fractal sea surface model and derive an electromagnetic backscattering model. Using this model, we numerically calculate the normalized radar cross section (NRCS) of a nonlinear sea surface. Comparing the averaged NRCS between linear and nonlinear fractal models, we show that the NRCS of a linear fractal sea surface underestimates the NRCS of the real sea surface, especially for sea states with high fractal dimensions, and for dominant ocean surface gravity waves that are either very short or extremely long.
