Abstract

A national comparison of RCS measurement results between national measurement laboratories has been organized in the framework of a French Working Group (Groupe de Travail incertitudes: GTi), dealing with measurement uncertainties in anechoic chamber. This Working Group involves 22 laboratories that are either industrial or academic research ones, or laboratories depending on governmental organisms. Three tasks have been defined: 1/ State of the art, 2/ Comparisons of RCS measurements, 3/ Comparisons of Antenna Measurements. This paper deals with the second task, in which 8 laboratories are engaged. The motivations and the scheduled tasks are described.
