Abstract

In this paper, we generate numerical results of simulated scattering-imaging-reconstruction for large complex aircrafts. Physical Optics (PO) method is employed for high-frequency electromagnetic scattering calculations of complex-shaped electrically large bodies. Polarimetric radar images in real-time are formed with possible polarizations (hh, hv, vh and vv) to allow a more detailed examination of the scattering mechanisms.
