Title :
Combining Polarimetry with SEM in Radar Backscattering for Target Identification
Author_Institution :
New Mexico Univ., Albuquerque, NM
Abstract :
In identifying radar targets based on the poles (resonances) in the singularity expansion method (SEM), there is additional information to be gained from the residues. The polarizations of the substructure resonances can also be used as a target signature. In addition, the relative times of arrival of the various resonances at the radar can also be used as another way to construct a target image
