Abstract :
Scaled radar cross section measurements are a commonly employed tool in civil and military aviation. We propose a flexible setup which makes use of a fiber-coupled THz time domain spectrometer and a two circle goniometer. Measurements are performed on reference objects and on scale model aircraft.
