Instrumentation for Antenna and Radar Cross Section Measurements
Abstract
Under support from the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), an Antenna and Radar Cross Section (RCS) Instrumentation System operating over the 45 MHz - 26.5 GHz frequency range was developed and integrated, leading to the completion of the Anechoic Chamber Facility at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL). Some key features of the antenna and RCS measurement system include: (a) Frequency band: 45 MHz - 26.5 GHz; (b) RCS vs. frequency and azimuth measurement capability; (c) Full polarimetric scattering matrix capability; (d) One- and two-dimensional high resolution imaging capability; (e) Antenna measurement capability; and (f) Fully automated measurement and processing. In this final report, we provide a brief overview of the system configuration and technical specifications, and present typical measurement examples.
