主　　题：radar echo simulation near-field database(NFDB) butterfly factorization(BF) 

摘      要：This paper presents a novel method for fast calculation of radar echo in near-field regions after the equivalent source has been computed by method of moments(MoM).An easy-to-access near-field database(NFDB)is established,which is built on the auxiliary tetrahedral meshes surrounding the nearfield regions of interest.The near-fields calculation(NFC)of arbitrary observation points can be expressed explicitly via the NFDB.An efficient matrix compression scheme named random sampling-based butterfly factorization(RS-BF)is proposed to speed up the construction of NFDB.With this approach,each group of O(N)elements in the database can be calculated through one fast matrix-vector multiplication operation that has a computational complexity below O(Nlog~2 N).The proposed method can avoid time-consuming point-by-point NFC of the traditional methods.Several numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of this method.In particular,the echo simulation of a missile-target encounter example is presented to illustrate its capability for practical applications.
