Transient scattering response of an airborne target

Abstract

The work described in this paper includes use of a bounded wave simulator at NRaD's Time Domain Measurement Range for obtaining the transient scattering response of a particular airbome target. The target used for these tests is a scale model, requiring that the measurement data be scaled in order to compare the results to those obtained by numerical methods for the full size target. The theory, measurement procedure, and data processing techniques are also presented.

A Millimeter-Wave Scaled Measurement System for Wireless Channel Characterization

“…This system allows accurate measurement of well-defined channels under a controlled laboratory environment. Scaled systems have been used to characterize performance of antennas on large platforms such as ships and airplanes [6]. However, the literature concerning scaled measurements for characterizing coherent wave propagation is scarce.…”
