Novel Electromagnetism-Based Radar Propagation Model for 5G and Beyond
In order to evaluate the performance of radar and communication systems in future wireless networks, accurate propagation models are needed to predict efficiently the received powers at each node, and draw correct conclusions. In this paper, we present new radar propagation models based on the electromagnetism theory. The target is modelled as a flat or curved square plate to compute the scattered field and derive accurate radar cross section modellings. With a flat square plate, the model makes the link between the radar equation and the geometrical optics propagation model used in ray-tracing applications. It is then applied to popular automotive scenarios within the stochastic geometry framework to observe the impact of such modelling.
