Recognition of isotropic plane target from RCS diagram

The use of electromagnetic waves for the recognition of a structure represented by point scatterers is a fundamental problem. Much research is done on this subject, and the study of aircraft observed in the yaw plane gives interesting results. But to apply these methods it is necessary to use many sophisticated acquisition systems. In the letter, we give a new method which can be applied for plane structures composed of isotropic scatterers. This method is quite interesting because it uses power measurements only and necessitates only a classical tracking radar.
