QUANTITATIVE MEASUREMENTS OF RADAR ECHOES FROM AIRCRAFT, XVI. AD-4B.

Radar back scatter characteristics of the AD-4B aircraft are described quantitatively for frequencies of 115, 215 and 1250 Mc. At 115 Mc the nose and tail aspects yield essentially the same radar area of approximately 100 square meters the broadside region, 315 square meters. At 215 Mc the radar areas of the nose aspects are in the order of 10 square meters the broadside region, 200 square meters and the tail aspects, 6 square meters. Nose aspects at 1250 Mc yield approximately 20 square meters and the tail aspects, 1 square meter. Author
