Radar backscatter from the sea surface has a significant effect on radar systems operating in a maritime environment. This study considers the application of modelling sea clutter to the design and development of such systems, and addresses the sensitivity of the predicted performance to the choice of model. The typical phases of the life-cycle of a radar system are described, along with how models...
The variation of the radar sea clutter K distribution shape parameter with environmental and radar parameters is investigated using recorded data and scattering calculations. The results indicate that improvements to the current empirical model are possible, in particular with regard to its lack of dependence on wind speed and sea state. The extension of the model to littoral environments is also...
This paper reviews current developments in sea clutter modelling, covering both statistical models, mainly based on empirical observations, and modelling of electromagnetic scattering from simulated sea surfaces. The emphasis throughout the paper is on the modelling of low grazing angle microwave radar backscatter in relation to airborne and surface maritime surveillance radar. As well as reviewing...
