Abstract:

The effective radar cross sections of a number of horn and parabolic reflector microwave antennas were measured. X-band radiation was used throughout, but antennas designed for use at C-, X-, and K-band were measured. A low-power radar was used, designed for indoor operation and possessing a feature whereby the return from background objects was nulled out.
