Comparison Of Computational Electromagnetic Codes For Prediction Of Low-Frequency Radar Cross Section, Paul C. Lash Mar 2006

Comparison Of Computational Electromagnetic Codes For Prediction Of Low-Frequency Radar Cross Section, Paul C. Lash

Theses and Dissertations

Radar cross section (RCS) prediction of full-scale aircraft is of interest to military planners for a variety of applications. Several computational electromagnetic codes for RCS prediction are available with differing features and capabilities. The goal of this research is to compare the capabilities of three computational electromagnetic codes for use in production of RCS signature assessments at low frequencies in terms of performance, accuracy, and features: Fast Illinois Solver Code (FISC), Code for Analysis of Radiators on Lossy Surfaces (CARLOS-3D), and Science Applications International Corporation Full-wave solver (SAF). The comparison is accomplished through analysis of predicted and measured RCS of …
