Abstract
The outdoor RCS measurement technique is crucial for the radar and aeronautical design applications, especially in the face of large objects. Because of the background interference, the multi-bounce effect is unavoidable and will contaminate the measuring result greatly. In this paper, a novel method to eliminate the multi-bounce effect via 3D imaging technique is proposed. Compared with the traditional methods, high-resolution 3D microwave image can separate the desired image from the multi-bounce false images in the image domain by using the difference of the transmission paths. Simulation results show that this method can clearly eliminate the multi-bounce effect of the outdoor RCS measurement.
