Radar Signature Analysis of Urban Structures

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) measurements of urban structures provide a challenge for data interpretation. In fact the basic mechanism of the reflection and scattering behavior has to be understood in very much detail. Theoretical models exist and can be used, but experimental data from a controlled environment are rather sparsely available. In this paper the construction of a well-defined wall structure is presented and corresponding radar measurements are illustrated. The results are discussed with respect to theoretical expectations.
