Abstract :
This paper presents Radar Cross Section (RCS) measurements and predictions of a set of three conospheres suitable for electromagnetic software validation. These measurements can be used as a RCS reference data for testing existing and future codes, as well as for the analysis of the scattering mechanisms present in this kind of objects. The association between the scattering mechanism and its response is specially valuable in a validation process, in which simulations and measurements are compared, to identify the possible weak points of the electromagnetic tool.
