This article presents a fast and efficient metasurface design approach without using time-consuming optimization algorithms, for wide-angle low scattering applications wideband radar-cross-section (RCS) reduction. Using ray-tracing theory by engineering the proposed metasurfaces to exhibit diffusive parabolic phase distribution across its aperture at frequencies other than center frequency ( <i...

The effective normalized radar cross section (NRCS) of breaking waves, σwb, is empirically derived based on joint synchronized Ka-band and video records the sea surface from a research tower. σwb key parameter that, along with breaker footprint fraction, Q, defines contribution non-polarized backscattering, NP =σwbQ, to total NRCS. Combined right representation regular Bragg specular backscatte...

The results of a numerical investigation of the electromagnetic scattering from two-dimensional (2-D) targets on a time-evolving sea surface are presented. The 2-D radar cross section (RCS), or “echo width,” is computed as a function of time as the sea surface evolves linearly using the spectrally accelerated generalized forward-backward method. It is shown that the RCS varies with time on the ...

Surface Wave High Frequency Radars (SWHFR) are taken into account in the content of modeling and simulation challenges. Examples related to multi-mixed path surface wave propagation, radar cross section (RCS) prediction, and total radar echo showing target, clutter, noise, and interference are presented.
