RCS reduction of trihedral corner reflectors using SCS technique

摘要

Corner reflectors form the major scattering centers in the radar signatures of ships, aircrafts and vehicles. The reduction of the radar cross section (RCS) of these "flare spots" plays an important role in the design of these objects with reduced detectability in a radar. This paper deals with reduction of RCS of a triangular trihedral corner reflector, using the simulated corrugated surface (SCS) technique. Appreciably good RCS reduction has been achieved over a wide angular range of azimuths and elevations.
