Abstract :
A sensitivity analysis (SA) based on an experimental design is used to locate the most relevant input parameters of the scattering model MIMICS. The study relies on experimental data acquired during an active truck-mounted microwave experiment in the framework of the French ERABLE project. The results of SA corroborate the experimental ones and enable us to propose a hierarchical classification of the input parameters in terms of their relevance
