Abstract

This paper presents the improvements in the new POGCROS [1] code for the analysis of the monostatic and/or bistatic radar cross section (RCS) of electrically large complex targets. This computer tool is based on a new iterative algorithm based on angular z-buffer algorithm (AZB), space volumetric partitioning (SVP) and a depth-limited search.
