Abstract
The approach to estimate the length of extended targets by using the bistatic high resolution range profile (HRRP) is analyzed in this paper. The relationship between the bistatic HRRP and the monostatic HRRP of extended targets are investigated. It is demonstrated by simulations that the target length measured by the bistatic HRRP is more meaningful and accurate than that by the monostatic HRRP, though the monostatic HRRP has been well developed and widely used in target recognizing and classification. The estimation results of a cone shaped target are present and compared at the end of the paper. To assure the reliability of the simulation, the bistatic HRRP is obtained through the scattering field data calculated by a full-wave numerical method, FE-BI-MLFMA.
