The RCS reduction of microstrip patch antennas

The radar cross section (RCS) of microstrip patch antennas is studied. Various RCS reduction techniques are described. These are investigated using finite element method codes. The results of a series of compact range RCS measurements are discussed. Good agreement between measured and computed RCS i...

Description
Summary:The radar cross section (RCS) of microstrip patch antennas is studied. Various RCS reduction techniques are described. These are investigated using finite element method codes. The results of a series of compact range RCS measurements are discussed. Good agreement between measured and computed RCS is observed. (4 pages)
