Uwb Radar Holography Applied to Rcs Signature Reduction of Military Vehicles
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ultra wide band (UWB) radar hologmphy is a unique technique developed at PNNL for the U. S. Army to obtain nearfield "3-D" images and scattering characteristics of full-size vehicles in the field and at productwn line facilities. The extremely high-resolution imaging capability of this technique maps a vehicle's scattering areas and idenhfies the "hot spots" which dominate the far-field signature to the enemy's radar receiver. The combination of genemting near-field high resolution Imagesand RCS measurements with the same data provides a very efficient LO signature reduction tool for the Army, Air Force and Navy.

Design and Fabrication of a Radar Cross Section Reduction Cover for Military Targets
Radar engineers and operators measure the radar return of a given target from a given angle in terms of its Radar Cross Section (RCS), from which they can detect and completely identify that target as its type, direction, and speed. The RCS of a target may have a huge value from one angle and at the same time has a very small value from another angle. So the challenge is to reduce the RCS of an...

Most of the currently established techniques for breast cancer have inherent disadvantages, such as destructive effects, image accuracy, and others. In addition, mammography and nuclear methods have a potential for producing harmful ionization effects in humans. Another technique for breast cancer detection is microwave imaging radar, which has the advantage of a less hazardous modality and is ...
متن کاملSpecific RCS for Describing the Scattering Characteristic of Complex Shape Objects
Nowadays it is important to create military and civilian vehicles which would be invisible to radar (or homing precision weapons). Such a task requires using high amount of radio-absorbing materials and high cost of finished samples of re-engineering. So it is very useful to have some methods for mathematical modeling of electromagnetic waves scattering on the object in order to take into accou...
