Synopsis
This guide explains how the radar cross section of objects is typically measured on test ranges, and how testing may be tailored to meet specific requirements. The volume provides basic and advanced information on instrumentation systems, test range design, and measurement technology. Individual chapters describe the design and operation of outdoor test ranges, indoor chambers, dynamic test ranges, and near-field (compact) ranges. In other chapters discussions include target support fixtures, calibration, and scale-model testing. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

From the Back Cover
Discussions include:
Target support fixtures a plastic foam columns, string supports, metal pylons; unusual methods are also discusses, including one involving no support at all.
Calibration a Instrumentation calibration, RCS calibration, primary and secondary standards, calibration by substitution.
Outdoor test ranges a Real estate needed, antenna selection, ground-plane optimization, berms, radar fences.
Scale-model testing a scaling laws, dielectrics and absorbers, metallic coatings, resistive sheets
The electromagnetic principles governing accurate RCS measurements are explained in easy-to-read style. The explanations are supported by simple analyses and augmented by measured and computed illustrations.
