Radar Cross Section of Ship Targets, 2

Abstract

In this report, the measurement of radar cross section of ships is discussed. To reduce the measurements to quantitative values, a system of standard targets of calculable radar cross section is employed. The measurement technique is described in detail. Numerical data are given for combat ships of various types for frequencies extending from 200 Mc/s to 3000 Mc/s. The data are examined in accordance with a simplified analysis given in a preceding report, and found to give satisfactory agreement.
