Radar cross section analysis for an ogive target (around radome or a missile)
(15th International Radar Symposium, 2014) Faran Awais Butt; Madiha Jalil
Radar cross section and its reduction is an area, which has a lot of room for research and over the past few decades, this particular area has gained significant importance in military and defense applications. Radar cross section is dependent on a number of parameters including shape, orientation, operating frequency, aspect angle, permittivity, permeability, transmitted power and related aspects. The research presented in this paper investigates the radar cross section of an ogive shape structures, which is related to missiles and aircrafts. Simulations for radar cross section are performed for different aspect angles and frequencies. The results show that radar cross section is highly dependent on the aspect angles and hence, significant counter measures can be achieved by using ogive and alike structures.
