Mitigation of Scintillation Effects on Space Based Radars Through Adaptive Noncoherent Processing

A space based radar system must deal with potential operating environments in which the propagation paths are severely disturbed, resulting in fast fading of signals and diminished detection and tracking performance. Part of an ongoing effort to design a system which can optimize performance in such an environment has focussed on the use of noncoherent integration of multiple coherent dwells in a scan. This report investigates the possibility that if knowledge of the fading rate were available, the radar could benefit by using an adaptive processing strategy to improve detection performance. Keywords include: Space Based Radar, Signal Scintillation, Ionospheric Propagation, Random Media, and Radar Performance.
