Abstract :
The radar cross section (RCS) of several bodies proposed by the Electromagnetic Code Consortium (EMCC) is calculated using the transmission-line matrix (TLM) method with the symmetrical condensed node. The results are in good agreement with experimental and moments-method solutions when the TLM is used together with an appropriate boundary condition and a near- to far-zone transformation approach
