  • Abstract
    This paper reports on a simulation of the full-scale ground-plane range (RAT SCAT) located at White Sands Proving Grounds. Prove-in measurements obtained on the simulation range agree with the theory of a ground-plane range. The effects of varying the dielectric constant and of the configuration of the ground are presented.
