Published in IEEE XploreThis paper addresses the prediction of the maximum recognition performance of a radar for a predetermined set of targets and radar waveforms. Use is made of the information theoretic concept of mutual information (MI) to perform this analysis. Returns from an F14, F15 and F16 were simulated using an asymptotic RCS prediction code. The information content of the three targets is evaluated for four sets of radar waveforms.enNon-cooperative target recognitionNCTRMutual informationUltra-widebandUWBShooting and bouncing raysSBRPhysical opticsPOConference PresentationCilliers, J.
