ROBERT KELL EQUIVALENCE THEOREM IN RADIOLOCATION

Abstract

This article (part 1) is devoted to simplified explanation of Robert Kell equivalence theorem about the derivation of bistatic RCS based on the monostatic measurements. In contrast to R.Kell’s original study, using definition based on Statton - Chu integral, this article uses methods of physical optics. The analysis was made for a complex radar object, including a considerable number of centers of scattering, also for a complex radar object, including an extended scatterer. This article (part 2) is devoted to experimental results based on Robert Kell equivalence theorem about the derivation of bistatic RCS in accordance with monostatic measurements.
