High Sensitivity Chaff Measurement System.

Abstract

A system is described which measured the radar cross section of very small chaff elements. The system consists of an anechoic chamber, transmit and receive circuitry with associated antennas, and a special circuit used to reduce system noise. The system and measurement procedure is described and some typical measurements are shown. Alternate uses for the system are also described. (Author)
