Summary:
The characteristics of radar cross section (RCS) of partially convex targets with large sizes up to five wavelengths in free space and random media are studied in this work. The nature of incident wave is an important factor in the remote sensing and radar detection applications. Here I investigate the effects of a beam wave incidence on the performance of RCS as I have handled the plane wave incidence case in a previous study. Targets are taking large sizes to be bigger enough than the beam width with putting into consideration a horizontal incident wave polarization (E-wave incidence). The effects of the target configuration, random medium parameters, and the beam width on the laser RCS and the enhancement in the radar cross-section (ERCS) are numerically analyzed. Therefore, we will be able to have some sort of control on radar detection using beam wave incidence.1
