The APL RCS (Radar Cross Section)/Statistics Code Description, Illustrations of Output, and User's Guide.

Abstract

The report is a description of a computer code that results in the first- and higher-order statistics of radar cross sections (RCS) of a complex target as a function of frequency polarization, aspect angle, and constituent parameters of the target. The promise is that a complex target can be represented by a set of simple scatterers. There is a general discussion of RCS data; the capabilities of the code from the viewpoint of the RCS analyst or data librarian; the theory of RCS, statistics, lobe structure, and glint embodied in the code; a user's guide from the viewpoint of the computer analyst; and a program listing.
