Radar Cross Section Measurements and Simulations of a Model Airplane in the X-band
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of this study was to illustrate how different methods of obtaining the Radar Cross Section (RCS) of an object may produce different results. RCS diagrams of a metallic airplane model (length, 0.64 m) were obtained in an anechoic chamber, with a LabVolt RCS system, and simulated with a simulation software. The measurements and simulations were carried out at the radar frequency of 9.4 GHz. The resulting RCS diagrams show that although there was a good correspondence between the main features in the RCS diagrams, some differences can still be observed, highlighting the need for different techniques to fully represent the RCS of an object.

Monopole Antenna Radar Cross Section Reduction with Plasma Helix
In this paper, a new method for radar cross section reduction of a monopole antenna is proposed. In this method, a plasma helix like fluorescent bulbs is placed around the antenna element. The selected plasma parameter for this medium acts as an absorber without disturbing the antenna performance. The simulations show that radar cross section of simulated antenna is reduced in a wide frequency ...
متن کاملSensor and Simulation Notes Note 506 January 2006 A Frequency Selective Surface Used as a Broadband Filter to Pass Low-Frequency UWB while Reflecting X–Band Radar
Airborne ultra wideband (UWB) impulse-radiating antennas (IRAs) present an especially large radar cross section to X–band radar. To mitigate this problem, we have numerically and experimentally investigated the use of a frequency selective surface (FSS) as a broadband filter to reflect X–band radar while transmitting lower-frequency UWB signals without loss or dispersion. We present here result...

L-band electromagnetic scattering from two-dimensional random rough sea surfaces are calculated by first- and second-order Small-Slope Approximation (SSA1, 2) methods. Both analytical and numerical computations are utilized to calculate incoherent normalized radar cross-section (NRCS) in mono- and bi-static cases. For evaluating inverse Fourier transform, inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) i...
