TLDR
High-resolution RCS matrices were used in an investigation of RCS matrix resolution, and an evaluation of different bilinear interpolation methods is presented, finding that the smallest RCS interpolation error was obtained using splines.
Abstract
This paper investigates the implementation of the radar cross section (RCS) of aircraft in modeling and simulation (M&S) More specifically, it addresses the tradeoff between accuracy and computational cost introduced by spatial RCS fluctuations High-resolution RCS matrices, generated using Physical Optics (PO), were used in an investigation of RCS matrix resolution, and an evaluation of different bilinear interpolation methods is presented The spatial Fourier transform was used for resolution analysis It was found that the smallest RCS interpolation error was obtained using splines Furthermore, results showed that the distribution of the relative interpolation error in detection range was well approximated by a log-normal distribution

Conservative RCS Models for Tactical Simulation

TL;DR: In this paper, a procedure for generating conservative radar cross section (RCS) models able to meet the computational requirements imposed by simulation and related applications is described, where the key concept is to downsample calculated RCS data retaining local extreme values; thus, a conservative RCS matrix is obtained.

Improving Precision of RCS Measurement Based on Spectral Extrapolation Method

TL;DR: In this paper, a spectral extrapolation method for measuring the RCS at two ends of band more exactly is proposed, where the measured data are extrapolated to obtain the unknown value out of band with an auto-regressive model (AR model).
