Radar Cross Section
Introduction
Perform a standardized test IEEE std 1502
With respect of setting up the radar cross-sectional measurement room at the Advanced Electromagnetic Lab, the Research Institute is able to provide RCS testing services for various types of scale models, composite structures, standard structures as well as complex objects in accordance with the requirements stated in IEEE std 1502 standard and CMI®TR-30 measurement software.
RCS Test Setup
Test setup to measure the radar cross section in
the anechoic chamber
The measurements performed in this laboratory are based on the methods used in the IEEE std 1502 standard. As with the stimulation of the VNA resources in the laboratory and observing the actual behavior of the object's behavior during a swing, located approximately 6 meters from the antennas, the results are recorded using the radar cross section measurement software. The RCS test range for Antenna, Radome and RCS measurements is designed under plane-wave conditions. Stand test is a measure of the radar cross section of the targets in a straightforward manner. Given that the possibility of direct radiation causes real-time measurements to be made for frequencies below 2GHz, so there will be an error for low frequencies.
