Abstract
In practical applications it is necessary to analyze radar scattering by a chaff cloud in a ground-based system rather than in the scattering plane-based system. By means of the Stokes-parameter method, a series of expressions of the bistatic radar scattering cross section (BRSCS) corresponding to arbitrarily polarized combinations of transmitters and receivers are derived in the ground-based system in the present study. The influence of chaff wires' orientation on the BRSCS is also studied based on the comparison between the cases of the spherically randomly oriented wires and the horizontally Gaussian-distribution-oriented wires, which may provide a valuable reference for designing various types of chaff as well as transmitter and receiver systems upon different demands.
