Techniques of Radar Recognition for Space Targets

Radar recognition of space targets has gained popularity for aerospace technoloy and strategic surveillance, and in this area there are some successful applications for radar target recognition. This paper surveys known results contained in this issue. Considering the dynamic characteristics and electromagnetic scattering mechanism of space targets, we have analyzed some recognition methods of space targets with narrowband and broadband radar signals. Finally, we prospect the future tendency of radar recognition of space targets.
