Abstract :
In February, 1989, a Computational Electromagnetics (CEM) validation measurement program was initiated by the Electromagnetic Code Consortium (EMCC), to fabricate and test several small radar cross-section (RCS) range models, in order to generate RCS reference data for validating existing and future codes. As part of the validation effort, the EMCG defined various sets of three- and two-dimensional targets. Measured data are presented here for five of the 3D plate targets. They are a wedge-cylinder plate, a wedge-plate cylinder, a plate cylinder, a 2×3.5 λ flat plate, and a wedge-cylinder with a gap
