36 High Depression Angle Ground Clutter can be large near vertical incidence σ o In this angle regime the reflected energy is due to backscatter from small flat surfaces on the ground The total backscatter is the sum of contributions from the different depression angles within the antenna s beam width For vertical incidence, σ measured is at exactly 90 o For an ideal smooth reflecting surface, σ G o This is a better approximation for smooth sea than typically more rough land (lower for land) generally > 1 and > than resolution cell size) σ o < σ o (see Reference 6) Antenna Gain Radar Systems Course 36

44 Sea Clutter Reflectivity vs. Grazing Angle σ - Cross section per unit area (db) Radar Systems Course 44 V - Vertical Polarization H - Horizontal Polarization X- Band (V ) X- and L- Band (V ) L- Band (H ) 220 MHz (H ) 50 MHz (H ) X- and L- Band (V &H) L- Band (V ) Adapted from Skolnik, Reference 6 X- Band (H ) Grazing Angle (degrees) Sea Clutter is independent of polarization and frequency for grazing angles greater than ~45 In general, backscatter from the sea is less using horizontal polarization than vertical polarization For low grazing angles and horizontal polarization, the sea clutter backscatter increases as the wavelength is increased
45 Amplitude Distributions The distributions for sea echo are between Rayleigh and log normal Log of sea backscatter is normally distributed Generally, sea echo for HH polarization deviates from Rayleigh more than it does for VV polarization For a cell dimension less than about 50 m, sea waves are resolved; the echo is clearly non-rayleigh The distributions depend on sea state. The echo usually becomes more Rayleigh-like for the higher seas. For small cells and small grazing angles, sea clutter is approximately log normal for horizontal polarization Adapted from Skolnik, Reference 6 Radar Systems Course 45

48 Sea Clutter Effects of the Wind and Waves σ o increases with increases in wind speed and wave height except at near-vertical incidence Wind speed and wave height, and wind direction and wave direction are not always highly correlated. At small grazing angles, σ o is highly sensitive to wave height At centimeter wavelengths, σ o is highly sensitive to wind speed at the small and intermediate grazing angles σ o is greatest looking into the wind and waves. For small grazing angles, the upwind/downwind ratio is often as much as 5 db and values of 10 db have been reported Adapted from Skolnik, Reference 6 Radar Systems Course 48

52 Sea Clutter Summary Mean backscatter from sea is about 100 times less than that of ground Amplitude of backscatter depends on Sea State and a number of other factors Radar wavelength, grazing angle, polarization, etc. The platform motion of ship based radars and the motion of the sea due to wind give sea clutter a mean Doppler velocity Sea spikes can cause a false target problem Occur at low grazing angles and moderate to high wind speeds Radar Systems Course 52
