SAR raw data generation and image simulation of aircrafts on the runway

Because of complex scattering mechanism between the target and the runway, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) raw data generation and image simulation for the aircraft standing on the runway is a difficult thing. In this work, a new procedure is proposed to deal with this problem. Major scattered field from both the aircraft and the runway are calculated, meanwhile, multipath scattering and the shadowing between the aircraft and the runway are also considered explicitly. Simulating results demonstrate the validity and usefulness of the procedure.
