Abstract

The multi-target scattering field consists of the scattering fields of each target, but it is difficult to know the scattering characteristics of the specific target from the total scattering field. However, the scattering characteristics of single target embedded in the total scattered field have important research significance for target recognition and detection. In this paper, a method is proposed to extract and recover each target’s scattering characteristics from the total scattering field of multiple targets. The theoretical basis of the method is that the scattering echoes corresponding to different targets reach the receiver at different time. We acquire the total scattering field at first. Then, we perform the signal processing with time-frequency analysis to obtain the arrival time of different scattering echoes. According to the time slot difference, the time domain signal of each target can be extracted to recover its scattering field. Several examples validate the proposed method.
