ANALYSIS OF RADAR RETURN FROM RANDOM SURFACES RELATIVE TO MOTION BETWEEN SURFACE AND RADAR

In previous reports, the nature of signals received from radar was analyzed and the spectrum of the received signal, the IF signal, the video signal, and finally the intensity of the display were all determined but were limited to the case where no motion occurred between the reflecting surface and the radar. In this report the same techniques were expanded so as to allow for the relative motion of radar and reflecting surface. Because the previous work associated with the receiver signals is still valid, major emphasis will be placed here upon the nature of the signal received from terrain.
