In the study, an efficient bi-iterative physical optics (PO) electromagnetic model is used to analyze composite scattering from a PEC object above two-layered rough soil surfaces for first time. The PO method applied calculate direct scattered fields and upper layer surface deal with mutual coupling effect between surfaces. During process, strategy considered solve interaction lower We assume 2...

This paper reports a new method for reducing the Radar Cross-Section (RCS) of a metal backed dipole antenna. Numerical simulations are used to show that when the Perfect Electrical Conductor (PEC) is replaced by a carefully designed Frequency Selective Surface (FSS), the electromagnetic performance of the antenna is similar in band, but the RCS of the structure is significantly lower out of ban...

In allocating radar beam for tracking a target, it is attempted to maintain the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of signal returning from the illuminated target close to an optimum value for efficient track updates. An estimate of the average radar cross section (RCS) of the target is required in order to adjust transmitted power based on the estimate such that a desired SNR can be realized. In this...

The passive ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID is being increasingly employed in various applications. The low-cost, long range and high data rate features making it an outstanding choice in contactless identification. Although, passive tag performance is likely to be affected by water and metal, tag packages and special tag designs are developed to minimize the effect of the environment. Tag perf...

Hiding from and surprising an opponent are tactics that have been used in warfare throughout history. They were features that aircraft originally possessed when they were first used in military operations. However, development of military technology is an endless struggle between advances in technology and counter technology. During World War II this struggle led to the development of a new tec...

Either passive calibration targets are expensive and complex to manufacture or their bistatic RCS levels are significantly lower than the monostatic RCS levels of targets such as spheres, dihedraland trihedral corner reflectors. In this paper the performance of an active calibration target with relative high bistatic RCS values is illustrated as a reference target for bistatic RCS measurements....

Most of the industrial software codes used for the prediction of the radar cross-section (RCS) of aircrafts are based on ray tracing. While ray based methods give useful scattered fields from the skin of the aircraft illuminated by an incident plane wave, they largely fail to predict the returns from cavities onboard. As a possible enhancement to these ray-tracing programs, an auxiliary program...

We describe a high-order method for computing the monostatic and bistatic radar cross section (RCS) of a class of three-dimensional targets. Our method is based on an electric field surface integral equation reformulation of the Maxwell equations. The hybrid nature of the scheme is due to approximations based on a combination of tangential and nontangential basis functions on a parametric refer...

High-resolution remote-sensing images can be used in human activity analysis and criminal monitoring, especially sparsely populated zones. In this paper, we explore the applicability of China’s Gaofen satellite land cover classification Xinjiang, China. First all, features spectral reflectance a normalized radar cross section (NRCS) for different types covers were analyzed. Moreover, seasonal v...
