Target Shadow Profile Reconstruction in ground-based forward scatter radar

This paper concerns with the practical aspects of the target profile reconstruction in a single-node ground-based forward scatter radar (FSR) system. Modelling approach for simulation of the target signal return and procedure of the target profile reconstruction are discussed. Experimental set-up and measurements are described. For the first time the reconstructed profiles of three different cars measured in real outdoor environment are demonstrated. The performance of the reconstruction is analysed at this initial stage of the research, operational regimes and conditions to deliver robust and interpretable profile outline are discussed.
