Abstract

The problem of obtaining the radar cross section (RCS) of a scale model too large to measure in the range of millimeter-wave by measurement is investigated. This topic, to the best of our knowledge, has been little investigated due to its complexity. A scheme named RCS part measurement and synthesis to this problem is developed in this paper. This method combines measurement with theoretical calculation. The first step in using the method is that a scale model is partitioned into several parts measurable. Then the contributions of the sections and shadow region shadowed by all other parts are removed from the measured RCS data of every part. Finally, the scattered fields of all the parts are synthesized to obtain the total RCS of the scale model by means of the technique of relative phase synthesis. A result is presented to illustrate the utility of this scheme.
