Abstract
A mathematical model to study target image return frequency spectrums in Doppler radars is described. The model includes the effects of eclipsing, sea surface slope distribution, and surface reflectivity characteristics. The procedure of calculations has been computerized and the analytical results are compared to flight-test values obtained from flights over the ocean. The calculated values of amplitude-frequency spectrums of target image returns correspond reasonably well with the respective recorded flight-test data.
