Pure time domain planar near field scattering measurements

Time domain planar near field scattering measurements can obtain wideband scattering data in one measurement. Time domain measuring method is based on plane wave spectrum formulas. This paper concerns simulation of time domain planar near field scattering measurements in time domain. The near-field scattering measurement data are transformed to far-field scattering data such as Radar Cross Section (RCS). The formulas of this method, derivation of the formulas, the simulation method, correction factor in time domain transformation, the simulation results and analysis are presented in this paper.
