Abstract

A New Point Scatterer Prediction Model is presented in this paper to predict RCS of an aircraft model using Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) images of the aircraft.. The ISAR images are provided by Defense Agency of Sweden and Saab inc. for each 15 degrees in horizontal plane. RCS is predicted for each aspect angle by taking superposition of the dominant point scatterers whose locations and strength are calculated from these ISAR images and simulation results are given with measurement results of the same aircraft model.
