  • Abstract
    This paper describes the development of a technique for simulating the forward propagation of radar signals over a rough sea. The work is based on the Kirchhoff integral approach to propagation and includes the full effects of diffraction. The sea surface is described by a special reflection coefficient that incorporates the effect of a rough surface. Several examples are included and demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach.
