Abstract :
The project is designed to tie together a number of important skills and concepts for students (advanced undergraduates/beginning graduates) of electrical engineering. In its most basic sense, this is an exercise in scientific programming. While this is a realistic project (it makes use of complex numbers, vectors, and vector operations), it is within the ability of a student programmer. The specifics of this project emphasize the relation between communication systems and electromagnetics while giving the student practical/applied knowledge of basic radar principles. The student will develop a much better understanding of the steady state radar cross section (RCS) and its dependence on the angle of incidence and the geometry of the target.
