Acoustic Approximation

Kirchhoff approximations for the forward-scattering target strength of underwater objects are developed by combining Babinet’s principle and the Kirchhoff integral, where theoretical formulations and a numerical implementation are given in detail. The Kirchhoff approximation is found to be a high-frequency physical acoustic approximation. The forward-scattering target strength versus frequency and the spatial angles for spherical objects, prolate spheroids and the Benchmark Target Strength Simulation Submarine (BeTSSi-Sub) model are obtained by the Kirchhoff approximation and compared with results from theory, the deformed cylinder method (DCM) and the boundary element method (BEM). The Kirchhoff approximation shows considerable agreement with the theoretical and numerical approaches in a region of [Formula: see text] from the rigorous forward-scattering direction. The forward-scattered field contour and the corresponding directivity for the BeTSSi-Sub model are also calculated as a demonstration. Mode coupling caused by the simulated target is clearly revealed. The results indicate that the Kirchhoff approximation can predict the forward-scattering target strength of complex underwater objects.

This paper presents the application of the time-frequency (TF) reassignment technique in passive forward scattering radar (FSR) using Digital Video Broadcasting – Terrestrial (DVB-T) transmitters of opportunity operating in the Very High Frequency (VHF) band. The validation of the proposed technique was done using real-life signals collected by the passive radar demonstrator during a measurement campaign. The scenario was chosen to test detection ranges and the capability of estimating the kinematic parameters of a cooperative airborne target in passive FSR geometry. Additionally, in the experiment the possibility of utilizing FSR geometry in foliage penetration conditions taking advantage of the VHF band of a DVB-T illuminator of opportunity was tested. The results presented in this paper show that the concentrated (reassigned) energy distribution of the signal in the TF domain allows a more precise target Doppler rate to be estimated using the Hough transform.
