Radar Cross Section of Dipole Phased Arrays with Parallel Feed Network

The book "Radar Cross Section of Dipole Phased Arrays with Parallel Feed Network" offers a comprehensive analytical representation of the radar cross section (RCS) of parallel-fed linear dipole arrays, taking into account mutual coupling. It addresses the electromagnetic scattering properties of objects in relation to an incoming signal, which is particularly significant in military and defense applications. The analysis of the scattered field is crucial for the design of hard-to-detect platforms, as the presence of an antenna or array can significantly affect the echo area of a target. The book explains RCS estimation based on the signal path within the antenna system and examines various parameters that influence the RCS pattern, such as dipole length, spacing between elements, and array configuration. With detailed schematics, tables, and illustrations, each step of the RCS estimation and analysis is explained, making it a valuable resource for professionals and students in the fields of engineering and IT.
