Abstruct-The mode-matching (MM) technique is employed for the evaluation of the radar cross section (RCS) of struetures that simulate a jet engine inlet. The geometry consists of a perfectly conducting cylindrical inlet terminated by an array of blades mounted on a cylindrical hub. Comparisons of numerical results with actual measurements are presented for the first time.
Calibrated radar images are often quantified as radar cross section. This interpretation, which is not strictly correct, can lead to misunderstanding of test target scattering properties. To avoid confusion, we recommend that a term such as "scattering brightness" (defined below) be adopted as a standard label for image-domain data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
