Reciprocal path-scattering effects for a ground-based, monostatic laser radar tracking a space target through turbulence

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A phenomenological model is developed for the strength and spatial width of the coherent intensity peak of backscatter produced by reciprocal path scattering through atmospheric turbulence. The model is applied to a ground-based, monostatic laser radar tracking a space target under the condition of optical atmospheric turbulence saturation.
