RCS Estimation of Linear and Planar Dipole Phased Arrays: Approximate Model

In this book, the RCS of a parallel-fed linear and planar dipole array is derived using an approximate method. The signal propagation within the phased array system determines the radar cross section (RCS) of phased array. A phased array system comprises of radiating elements followed by phase shifters, couplers, and terminating load impedance.
