Abstract

Based on radar backscattering, a unitary model of radar returns from aircraft rotating parts, such as the propellers of propeller-driven aircrafts and the rotors of helicopters, is derived in detail and modulated characteristics in radar returns are analyzed. The results demonstrate that the modulation induced by the rotating parts of aircraft is relatively invariable, and in some flight conditions can offer additional information for target recognition in air surveillance radar
