Radar Cross-Section Reduction in CST for a Microstrip Antenna

Abstract

This article presents an analysis of the different modeling in CST for predicting the radar cross-section of the surface. In the analysis, we studied the effect of different factors in vessel construction regarding the amount of electromagnetic energy returning to a radar source, such as the polarization of plane waves, use of different materials, and vessel size. For this article, a microstrip antenna with a reduced monostatic radar cross-section (RCS) is provided. The RCS is reduced by replacing a solid ground plane reference antenna.
