Abstract :
Low- and high-frequency measurements are presented of five differently shaped targets: the NASA almond, ogive, double ogive, cone-sphere, and cone-sphere with gap. These were measured from 700 MHz to 16 GHz. The metallic targets are made of aluminum, and were cut by a numerically controlled mill to maintain the surface precision. Except for the almond target, all the targets were made in two parts and joined by sleeves and screws. The measurements are computational electromagnetics (CEM) validation measurements for the Electromagnetic Code Consortium (EMCC)
