Abstract :
This paper presents a site specific ground clutter simulation developed for ground-based radars. The simulation provides clutter power maps according to digital terrain relief and landcover information. The comparison between simulated clutter and actual clutter shows that a good accuracy in clutter simulation can be achieved even for complex landscapes
