Abstract :
Radar cross-section measurements in the time domain are performed for the very first time, over a compact range. Apart from the hardware configuration and calibration used, extended analysis capabilities are discussed and illustrated with measurements. An enormous potential is envisaged in industrial and military applications, e.g. reverse engineering, radome optimisation and stealth design
