Abstract
Reverse forward scatter radar is a novel concept where the target of interest is illuminated against a background reflector(s) and the echo signal is formed by the forward scattering field on the line between the background reflector, the target, and the receiver. This paper is the first to derive and analyse the target signature where a background clutter surface is used as a distributed reflector of opportunity. It is shown that, depending on the topology and target speed, the target signature has a power spectral density of the order of 10Hz which coincides with the signature bandwidth in traditional forward scatter radar. Simulations have been completed for a number of practical scenarios.
