The problem studied in this paper is the design of an electromagnetic target classifier for small-scale aircraft targets by using a natural resonance based feature extraction technique supported by feature fusion. The aircraft targets are modeled by perfectly conducting straight thin wire structures and the electromagnetic fields back-scattered from targets are numerically generated. This technique uses the Wigner-Ville distribution (WD) and the principal component analysis (PCA). The technique is applied to perfectly conducting targets of moderately complicated geometries for the first time. The resulting classifier is successfully demonstrated to recognize five wire-modeled aircraft targets based on a reference database that is constructed at only three different aspect angles.

A Radar Target Recognition Method with MUSIC Algorithm: Application to Aircraft Targets with Measured Scattered Data
Secmen, M.; Turhan-Sayan, G.; Sayan, Gönül (2008-05-30)
This paper demonstrates the usefulness of an ultra wideband target recognition method in the case of realistic and complicated target geometries at resonance region. The method utilizes the MUSIC algorithm to extract the natural resonance-related scattering features of targets. The resulting features give the power distribution maps of targets. These maps are called as fused MUSIC spectrum matrices and used as the main target recognition feature in the method. The fusion process is needed to reduce the aspe...

In this thesis, determination of the shielding effectiveness of a rectangular shielding box with apertures on its walls by using electromagnetic topology (EMT) technique based on Baum-Liu-Tesche (BLT) equation is presented. The presented technique is applied to determine the field penetration into various rectangular shielding boxes with different sizes and aperture dimensions. An HP branded computer case is also analysed as a rectangular shielding box with a CD driver slot as an aperture. Results on electr...
Hybrid CFIE-EFIE solution of composite geometries with coexisting open and closed surfaces
Ergül, Özgür Salih (2005-07-08)
The combined-field integral equation (CFIE) is employed to formulate the electromagnetic scattering and radiation problems of composite geometries with coexisting open and closed conducting surfaces. Conventional formulations of these problems with the electric-field integral equation (EFIE) lead to inefficient solutions due to the ill-conditioning of the matrix equations and the internal-resonance problems. The hybrid CFIE-EFIE technique introduced in this paper, based on the application of the CRE on the ...
