Abstract
Simulations of the radar cross section (RCS) of a four-column square-based support pylon were performed in order to find the orientation between a radar antenna and the pylon in which the radar return from the pylon is minimal. From RCS simulations at 2, 6 and 10 GHz it was found that the optimal positioning of pylon occurs when the side of the pylon is at an angle of about 20deg with respect to the line-of-sight of the radar antenna.
