Radar Cross Section of Ship Targets, 7

Abstract

The radar cross section of the AG-17 (USS Wyoming), the LST-998, and the CV-36 (USS ANTIETAM) have been measured for frequencies in the range from 100 Mc/s to 3000 Mc/s. Concurrent with these measurements, low-level meteorological soundings were made in order to determine the variation of the index of refraction of the air. An analysis of the value of the far zone radar cross section as a function of frequency is made.
