The Aeronautical Journal

"Should become the standard reference for anyone concerned with RCS."

Booknews, Inc. Portland, OR. -- May 1, 1993

In this second edition, some material from the first edition has been removed to make room for new material such as more examples of field distributions and radar cross sections (RCS), practical considerations of planform shaping to reduce target echoes, more analysis of transmission line measurements of absorber samples, examples of radar imagery derived from coherent measurements of test objects reducing echoes from antennas, and discussions of creeping wave echoes of metal spheres, calibration of RCS measurements, and the compact range.
