Abstract:

Calibration constants were generated using trihedral comer reflector data collected by the ERIMNADC P-3 SAR during the 1989 ONR Ship Wake Experiment. These values will be applied to the ONR data to generate absolutely calibrated radar cross-section RCS values for the wake feature and ship and normalized RCS values Sigma sub o values for the ambient areas. Results of applying the constants to ambient data from the ONR collection to generate absolutely calibrated Sigma sub o measurements are discussed.
