Abstract :
To research the effect of plasma, the radar cross section (RCS) of a hypersonic model is measured in our light gas gun. The spectrum of the received signal and one-dimensional radar image of the model are given. According to this experiment, three-dimensional (3-D) finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations are performed for calculating microwave scattering from a plasma-cloaked conducting model.
