Abstract
This article reviews a recently developed benchmark suite for quantifying the performance of alternative computational approaches to solving radar cross-section (RCS) problems in aerospace applications. The Austin RCS Benchmark Suite 1) contains 20 problem sets, with 1,303 unique benchmark scattering problems, whose geometries, material properties, excitations, and quantities of interest are precisely defined; 2) organizes the problems along six dimensions according to the difficulty of computing their solutions; 3) provides reference RCS results for a select subset of the problems in each problem set, totaling 83 unique problems with reference results, obtained from full-wave computations in addition to analytical or measurement results; 4) includes models and sample meshes that define complex geometries as well as equations that define complex material properties for the problems that are most difficult to replicate independently; and 5) is available in online repositories.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine actively solicits feature articles that describe engineering activities taking place in industry, government, and universities. All feature articles are subject to peer review. Emphasis is placed on providing the reader with a general understanding of either a particular subject or of the technical challenges being addressed by various organizations, as well as their capabilities to cope with these challenges. Articles presenting new results, review, tutorial, and historical articles are welcome, as are articles describing examples of good engineering. The technical field of interest of the Magazine is the same as the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society, and includes the following: antennas, including analysis, design, development, measurement, and testing; radiation, propagation, and the interaction of electromagnetic waves with discrete and continuous media; and applications and systems pertinent to antennas, propagation, and sensing, such as applied optics, millimeter- and sub-millimeter-wave techniques, antenna signal processing and control, radio astronomy, and propagation and radiation aspects of terrestrial and space-based communication, including wireless, mobile, satellite, and telecommunications.
