Abstract :
A method for characterizing radar signatures using the wavelet transform is developed based on the principle of scattering centers. The adopted target representation is based on the colored bright spot approach, which is closely related to wavelet analysis. It is shown how to estimate the number, location, level of integration or differentiation, and scattering intensity of point scatterers using wavelet decomposition. The proposed target analysis method is tested using experimentally measured radar signals
