A Domain Decomposition Finite Element Method for Modeling Electromagnetic Scattering from Rough Sea Surfaces with Emphasis on Near-Forward Scattering
摘要： A high fidelity full-wave simulator is presented to perform numerical experiments for rough sea scattering problem by considering different polarizations, frequencies, grazing angles, wind speeds and sea surface spectra. The simulator is based on a novel Finite Element Domain Decomposition (FEDD) method for solving the problem of two dimensional electromagnetic scattering over one-dimensional sea surface. This non-iterative method partitions the computational domain into a number of overlapping subdomains and solves each domain individually by employing the Locally-Conformal Perfectly Matched Layer (LC-PML) at the truncation boundaries. LC-PML has a unique feature such that it can be applied to irregular domains on the contrary to standard PML methods, and hence inspired the birth of FEDD. The FEDD method is used at each Monte Carlo realization corresponding to a sample from random rough surfaces, and decreases the computational load especially for electrically-large problems. The accuracy and computational efficiency of the method is investigated through several simulations. Using the FEDD method, the statistical behavior of the bistatic Radar Cross Section (RCS) is obtained for both horizontal and vertical polarizations. A special emphasis is given to forward-scattered RCS and the mean reflection coefficient for sea surface especially at low grazing angles, and it is shown that the simulator produces results in agreement with the Ament and Miller-Brown approximations, and experimental data, proving the reliability of the simulation approach. The results are also compared with the standard finite element method and method of moments. Rough sea surfaces are created by using both Pierson-Moskowitz and Elfouhaily spectra.

Real-Time Modeling of Forward-Looking Synthetic Aperture Ground Penetrating Radar Scattering From Rough Terrain
摘要： Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a viable tool for fast and high fidelity detection of concealed explosive threats. The radar effectiveness is limited by scattering from rough terrain which considerably obscures the buried target response. To calculate the rough ground scattering, a 3-D full-wave algorithm such as finite-difference frequency-domain (FDFD) method is required but is often prohibitive for multiple frames when the GPR antennas are distant from the target region. This paper presents a real-time 3-D modeling of a moving platform forward-looking GPR scattering from rough terrain located at great electrical distances from the GPR antenna. For a synthetic aperture, the computational domain of the focal region is reduced to a very small subset of the entire observed volume, and the surface clutter is computed via a mere multiplication of a precomputed impulse response matrix of the rough ground with the matrix characterizing the GPR transmitting signal. For a vehicle-mounted GPR detection system, this results in a significant reduction of complexity and saving of computation resources. The effectiveness of the algorithm is evaluated through an implementation of 3-D Monte Carlo simulation for various rough surface parameters. Our developed model compares well with the direct FDFD results, and can be used for lossy and frequency-dispersive soils.
