Abstract :
A simplified design of near field RCS measurement and microwave imaging system is presented. The hardware architecture is modified based on linear frequency modulation continuous wave system. Data processing is amended considering the near field measurement. A low-cost, simple and convenient RCS measurement system for some special testing is provided. Experimental results of some targets´ RCS and range imaging are also given and analyzed in this paper.
