Abstract

[The signal propagation within the phased array system decides the radar cross section (RCS) of phased array. The reflection and transmission coefficients for a signal at different levels of the phase in scattering array system depend on the impedance mismatch and the design parameters. Moreover, the mutual coupling effect in between the antenna elements is an important factor analysis. A phased array system comprises of radiating elements followed by phase shifters, couplers, and terminating load impedance. These components pose respective impedance toward the incoming signal that travels through them before reaching the receive port of the array system. In this book, the RCS of a parallel-fed linear and planar dipole array is derived using an approximate method. The RCS is approximated in terms of array factor, neglecting phase terms. The mutual coupling effect is taken into account. The dependence of the RCS pattern on the design parameters is analyzed. The approximate model employed proves to be an efficient method for RCS estimation of phased arrays. This book presents a detailed formulation of approximate method to determine radar cross section of phased arrays. It explains the RCS estimation of phased array using schematics and illustrations. This book helps readers to understand the impinging signal path and its reflections/transmissions within the phased array system.]
