Abstract
We propose an open cavity embedded in the surface of an air vehicle as a way to increase its radar cross section (RCS). The scattering from such an open cavity embedded in an infinite ground plane is calculated using a boundary integral method. The boundary integral equations are solved numerically using the method of moments. Numerical results are compared with measurements for a cylindrically shaped open cavity.
