OUTDOOR BROADBAND RCS MEASUREMENTS OF MODEL-SCALE AIRCRAFT

摘要

In real life, most radar targets are located outdoors. Here we present results from outdoor broadband RCS measurements at the X-, K_a- and W-band of "Holger", a metallized model-scale aircraft with cavities. RCS vs. angle data in the wing plane (0° elevation) were recorded at discrete frequencies (9, 35 and 94 GHz) in both horizontal (HH) and vertical (VV) polarizations. ISAR data at 7-13, 32-38 and 92-97 GHz were acquired. Results from a 104.1 m ground range and a 162.7 m free space range will be compared.
