Computer simulation of microwave sensor characteristics are useful in an increasing number of applications.

Abstract

Mathematical models of sensor performance is enhanced by the extensive graphics available on the personal computer. Both sensor hardware and site environmental parameters can be individually changed with the results shown on a graphic display. Vistatic and monostatic microwave sensors have been modeled. The output, although 1000 times faster, provides data similar to outdoor walk testing. 11 figures, 4 references (Author abstract modified)
