Database generation of bistatic ground target signatures

Automatic target classification has been an area of active study due to many of its significances. With there advent of bistatic technology in radar, the research into target classification in bistatic scenario seems quite timely. But the study of any classification algorithm demands for a suitable database. Due to the unavailability of suitable field collected bistatic database, computer simulation of such a database is quite pertinent. The present work discusses the approach towards the generation of a similar database, using FEKO as the electromagnetic simulation tool. Various special needs of such a project and the answers of FEKO to those needs, have been discussed. The results conclusively show the suitability of FEKO for the project.
