Abstract

The PMCHWT-CBFM (Characteristic Basis Function Method) is one of the effective numerical method for radar cross section (RCS) analysis of the electric large scatterer in terms of memory consumption. We analyzed and measured the monostatic RCS of 64-element microstrip array antenna considered as the terminal condition by using the above method. By comparing the conventional PMCHWT and experimental results with the PMCHWT-CBFM results, they agreed well with each other.
