Abstract :
This paper presents a new method in order to estimate the Radar Cross Section (RCS) of large objects in their environments. Object is defined as a volumetric surface and will be considered as a metallic target at a finite distance. This estimation is based on the use of dyadic Green´s function method which includes near-field issues. Simulations have been made in a frequency band between 1 to 20 GHz. Some simulated results of RCS estimation of a large metallic target taking into account the sea effect, are presented.
