Solutions of Broadband RCS Using AWE Technique and Equivalent Dipole Moment Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

A broadband radar cross section (RCS) calculation approach is proposed based on the asymptotic waveform evaluation (AWE) technique. The equivalent dipole moment method (EDMM) is used to accelerate the process of filling the impedance matrix and more derivative matrices. So the broadband RCS is achieved quickly by using AWE technique and EDMM. Numerical results show that the computational efficiency is improved significantly by using the method presented in this paper with ensuring the accuracy.
