Abstract

Indoor Radar Cross Section measurement facilities are usually dedicated to the characterization of only one azimuth cut and one elevation cut of the full spherical RCS target pattern. To provide a full function of the roll angle and the azimuth angle, an indoor near field monostatic RCS layout has been developed at CEA, consisting in a spherical experimental layout. From the acquired raw data, signal processing and data fusion techniques provide a 3D map of the main scatterers.
