Focusing on the difficulty in integrative modeling among the low altitude radar targets
the ground clutter and the environment
a coherent hybrid method in actual landform(CHIAL)is proposed to analyze the echo signals from radar targets in actual landform environment. Based on airborne pulsed Doppler(PD)radar
a half-space physical optics integral equation is deduced by introducing the half-space Green's function into the physical optics method. The radar cross section of conductive targets is calculated in the half space by combining the graphical- electromagnetic computing method. The scattering of the clutter cell is computed with SRTM and DFAD data
and the ground clutter is produced by using the coherent clutter model. After mixing with noise
the signals are then sent into corresponding range gates. Simulations on the efficient echo signals with the target peculiarity and clutter peculiarity show that the proposed method is more accurate than traditional hybrid modeling methods. Numerical results on airborne PD radar detecting low altitude targets show that the clutter distribution and the signal-to-clutter ratio accord with the theoretical analysis in using 90 m×90 m landform height data
and that the method is applicable in system engineering.
