Radar Cross Section of Ship Targets, IV

Abstract

The radar cross sections of DD-695, and of AGC-9 have been measured for frequencies ranging from 200 to 3060 mc/8. The destroyer results are compared with those previously obtained on DD-496. The destroyer radar cross section was also measured at 700 Mc/s by a radar at a lower elevation and at shorter ranges than heretofore obtainable. The radar cross section as a function of ship aspect was determined for one range by having the target destroyer turn in a very slow tight circle during the measurements. An analysis of the near-zone radar cross sections of different ships as a function of frequency is made on the basis of the few data available from previous reports in this series.
