Monostatic GTD Model for Double Scattering due to Specular Reflections or Edge Diffractions

GTD model is a good candidate to extract the features of radar targets, which describes the frequency dependence of scattering centers for many geometries or mechanisms and can represent the attribute information of the geometrical structures. The mechanisms associated with this model have been proven to include single reflection, single diffraction and multiple reflections from dihedral and trihedral corner reflectors. However, multi-scattering mechanisms from more complex structures are not studied adequately. In this paper, we expand the GTD model to any double scattering due to specular reflections or edge diffractions, and derive the related frequency-dependence factor. Finally, a simulation validates the theory.
