Abstract
It is well-known that, at low frequency, far-field RCS can be measured using a suitable implementation such as outdoor range or large anechoic chamber. The aim of this paper is to propose a new algorithm to predict RCS from near-field measurements. The comparison between RCS values obtained from the proposed method and those obtained from direct far-field values shows a good agreement between the two results.
