Improvements of Edges Diffraction Computing in GRECO

Graphical Electromagnetic Computing (GRECO) is one of the valuable methods for computing the radar cross section (RCS) of complex radar target in high frequency region. But there are some shortages of wedge detecting method in the original GRECO literature. A new method for collecting the edge pixels and wedge parameters is presented in this paper. An expression of edge diffraction field in the original GRECO literature is in error, the error-corrected formulas are derived by using method of equivalent edge currents (MEC) and physical theory of diffraction (PTD). Finally, the total RCS expression is given by physical optics (PO) and PTD method. The computing results are in close agreement with the measured data.
