Analysis of Radar Multipath Characteristics Considering Time-Varying Sea Surface

Key Points

• The study aims to analyze how time-varying sea surface conditions affect radar signal attenuation characteristics due to multipath propagation.
• Simulated time-varying sea surface conditions influenced by waves.
• Utilized a 2-way multipath propagation model.
• Analyzed the time and distance-dependent variations in received signals.
• Found that variability in the initial attenuation region increases with worsening sea conditions.
• Observed increased spatial dispersion in signal attenuation under dynamic sea states.
