Compact Range, Near/Far-Field Conversion RCS Measurement System-01
Model No. RCS01
Feature
- The measurement antenna attached on the mast, which is movable in EI direction, receives the plane wave transmitted by the compact range antenna in near-field after reflection on the target.
- Rotary motion of the target in Az direction enables omniazimuth measurement.
- Monostatic measurement is possible with receiving antenna placed in the center plane of the compact range antenna, and bistatic measurement also is possible with antenna placed off the center plane.
- Received data is converted to far-field mathematically to create RCS and images.
- Not only monostatic but bistatic RCS can be measured by integrating Cassegrain antenna.
