Millimeter-Wave RCS Measurements Using a Compact Antenna Test Range
A millimeter-wave compact antenna test range (CATR) is used to perform radar cross-section (RCS) measurements of various objects. A transmit/receive VNA frequency extender is connected to the feed horn of a CATR reflector. A conducting sphere is used to calibrate the RCS measurement system. RCS measurements of various objects are presented. Additional measurements include the attenuation and reflection characteristics of materials used for radomes and signal absorbers.
