RADAR RETURNS FROM GROUND CLUTTER IN VICINITY OF AIRPORTS

The objective of this project is to develop a dynamic simulation of the received signals from natural and man-made ground features in the vicinity of airports. The simulation is run during landing and takeoff stages of a flight. Vugraphs of noteworthy features of the simulation, ground clutter data bases, the development of algorithms for terrain features, typical wave theory results, and a gravity wave height profile are given.
