Abstract :
New radar technology applications need more and more advanced signal processing algorithms. In order to design processing algorithms it is necessary to dispose sufficiently accurate signal model. In this paper the 2-D correlation properties of sea surface radar return are analysed. The data for the analysis are real registered radar signals. The results show the dependence of correlation coefficients and correlation distances on range. Some parameters of power spectral density are introduced and analysed too. The conclusions formulated can be useful for modelling, simulation and segmentation of 2-D radar signals (images).
