Based on the theory of fractal compression, the method of fractal approxima
tion for radar targets' scattering echoes processing was studied. The fract
al compression processing of backscattered waves can greatly reduce the amo
unt of original data and be useful for target recognition. So the fractal c
ompression characteristics of radar scattering signals were utilized to ide
ntify radar targets. The experimental simulation shows that the method prop
osed by this paper is effective and reliable.
