Modeling of the backscatter behaviour of typical antipersonnel mines by computer simulations and experimental tests
- The results from calculations of the backscattered electric fields from Antipersonnel landmines as a function of frequency may be called the “fingerprints” characteristics of the specific antipersonnel land mine. To model these mines, two numerical methods have been used, these methods are the FDTD and the MoM. The calculation of the signatures show significant characteristic signatures of the different types of mines as a function of frequency, the dielectric properties of the explosive, the geometrical shape, small changes in mine construction and manufacturing, and the relatively high stability of the features with respect to the observation or aspect orientation angle of the mine. To increase the spatial resolution of the operating radar, the simulations have been done in the frequency range 200 - 8000 MHz. The computed and measured fingerprints have shown good agreement in free space. These information will improve the accuracy of the system and decrease the false alarm rate.
