Abstract
As an extension of traditional radar, quantum radar has the advantages of enhancing detection capability and improving resolution, which has attracted enormous attentions. However, the researches on the scattering characteristics of quantum radar are limited to two-dimensional targets, impeding the practical applications of quantum radar. In this paper, the universal expression of quantum radar cross section (QRCS) for three-dimensional targets is introduced. We have demonstrated the achievement of large-scale computing of QRCS by using GPU accelerating technique. And QRCSs of typical two- and three- dimensional targets are compared with previous work to verify the accuracy, and the improved efficiency of acceleration method is indicated simultaneously. Ultimately, the QRCS of a typical electrically large and complex target, B2 aircraft, is simulated unprecedentedly. The proposed method is convinced to be an efficient tool for analyzing quantum radar scattering properties of electrically large structures.
Highlights
Radar systems are widely used in various fields as a detection instrument since World War II [1]–[3]
For quantum radar cross section (QRCS) is the interaction of incident photon with atoms in the object, the 2D square plate is discretized by the corresponding 0.006λ, into 514405 unknowns
In this paper, the QRCS for analyzing complex targets is proposed formulaically and an efficient acceleration method with GPU is introduced into QRCS simulation
