Abstract
The present paper deals with the pagel method for the radar cross-section (RCS) computations of arbitrarily complicated targets based on the work by D. Klement et al. (1988). This method is convenient in use, fast in operation and precise in calculating RCS of a complicated target. With this method, the RCS of classic scatterers, for example, a cone and a cylinder, are computed with the result of good agreement with experimental data. Furthermore, the RCS’ of an aircraft model at various attitudes are calculated with the result of good agreement with experimental data also.
