FEASIBILITY STUDY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF A DIGITAL COMPUTER ROUTINE FOR SIMULATION OF RADIO FREQUENCY BACKSCATTER FROM SPACE VEHICLES AND OF MATHEMATICAL METHODS FOR ANALYZING DIGITALIZED BACKSCATTER DATA

摘要

This report describes preliminary analytical investigations required to delineate computer routines for (1) the simulation of RF backscatter from space vehicles and (2) the analysis of digitalized backscatter data. It is the second report prepared by the Mathematical Sciences Department of Stanford Research Institute for project DEFENDER under the present SRI contract with ARPA. Portions of this report are written as an exposition of the analytical methods developed in the previous works of the referenced authors. The report is presented in the interests of continuity and possible applicability to the accomplishment of the outlined objectives. (Author)
