Simplified Reflection Models of Representative Ground Metal Target in Millimeter Wave Passive Surveillance

For designing camouflage of ground metal target against millimeter wave(MMW) passive detections,based on the radiation and reflection theories related to MMW passive detection and an assumption of high frequency approximation,simplified models of two kinds of ground metal targets are established.Analysis indicates that the reflection from ground is the leading factor on a ground metal target's radiant temperature.In an 8-mm imaging experiment,the uneven distribution of radiant temperatures in horizontal and vertical metal plates is directly perceived.In a radiometer experiment,two positions of a radiometer device are utilized to obtain the radiant temperatures of a horizontal metal in two different grounds(made of asphalt and metal net respectively),which are 295.41 K and 301.55 K,respectively.The experimental results are close to the analytical results calculated from the proposed simplified models,which are 306 K and 296 K,respectively.According to the simplified models,different parts of a vertical plate receive incident MMW of different angles from the asphalt background.The radiant temperature of a vertical metal plate obtained from a radiometer experiment at night is 307 K,and it is in coherent with 304.22 K,the result from calculation using the simplified model of vertical plate.Both the analytic results and the experimental results agree with the uneven distribution of radiant temperature.

Analysis indicates that the reflection from ground is the leading factor on a ground metal target＇s ra- diant temperature. In an 8-mm imaging experiment, the uneven distribution of radiant temperatures in horizontal and vertical metal plates is directly perceived. In a radiometer experiment, two positions of a radiometer device are utilized to obtain the radiant temperatures of a ho- rizontal metal in two diflbrent grounds （made of asphalt and metal net respectively）, which are 295.41 K and 301.55 K, respectively. The experimental results are close to the analytical results calculated from the proposed simplified models, which are 306 K and 296 K, respec- tively. According to the simplified models, different parts of a vertical plate receive incident MMW of different angles from the asphalt background. The radiant temperature of a vertical metal plate obtained from a radiometer experiment at night is 307 K, and it is in coherent with 304.22 K, the result from calculation using the simplified model of vertical plate. Both the analytic results and the experimental results agree with the uneven distribution of radiant temperature.
