  • Abstract
    In this paper the results of far-field RCS prediction from near-field data over the ground plane are presented in order to investigate the measurement range reduction. The near-field to far-field transformation techniques are adopted in Falconer DG (1988) and Inasawa Y et al. (1997). Some models are measured over the metal ground inside an indoor anechoic chamber. The validity of the near-field RCS measurement over ground plane is evaluated.
