Abstract

The research of Radar Cross Section or RCS of simple and complex objects is decisively important to identify targets. Knowing the statistical characteristics of a target's RCS is crucial to the success of radar target detection algorithms. The RCS of any reflector may be thought of as the projected area of equivalent isotropic reflector. The equivalent reflector returns the same power per unit solid angle. The term RCS was used to describe the amount of scattered power from a target towards the radar, when the target is illuminated by RF energy. At that time, RCS was referred to as a target-specific constant. This was only a simplification and, in practice, it is rarely the case. In this chapter, the phenomenon of target scattering and methods of RCS calculation are examined. Target RCS fluctuations due to aspect angle, frequency, and polarization are presented. Radar cross section characteristics of some simples and complex targets are also introduced and treated.
