Abstract :
An efficient method to compute the radar cross section (RCS) of open cavities is presented. To calculate this RCS, the ray-tracing for a grid of points and directions is made. This method has the advantage that the ray-tracing is computed only once for all the possible RCS values. The results prove the validity and efficiency of the proposed method.
