Abstract

Standards for radar cross section measurements are being developed cooperatively by NIST and DoD scientists. Three technical areas were defined as the foundation of such an effort: (1) monostatic single-channel calibration, (2) full polarimetric calibration using a scattering matrix formalism, and (3) analysis of radar cross section calibration and measurement uncertainty. The authors reviews the results of assessment of calibration data accuracy using a set of cylinders as artifact standards, examines the theory of polarimetric calibrations, and discusses essential areas of radar cross section uncertainty analysis.
