NEED OF RCS MEASUREMENT
The RCS is a vital parameter for the design of modern aircrafts, missiles, helicopters, ground military vehicles, launchers, airport buildings and other important strategic installations. It is difficult to theoretically estimate RCS of complex targets as it is impossible to include all practical phenomena into consideration.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Digilogic Systems RCS Acquisition & Analysis suite is a high-performance software package designed for automating RCS Measurement. This software is user-friendly with an intuitive graphical interface. It comprises an acquisition module that is used to control the systems hardware and manage the test procedures and an analysis module that is used to process and plot the collected data in the acquisition mode most efficiently.
This Suite enables users in analyzing RCS data captured using Network Analyzers. It is equipped with functions to compensate for background subtraction and target calibration. The corrected data can be processed to generate various outputs such as RCS versus frequency aspect, RCS versus downrange aspect, cross-range, focused/unfocused ISAR imaging, temporal doppler and range walk among others. Zero doppler subtraction and software gating functions are also provided. RCS Analysis also includes a drift correction utility to compensate for drift in long RCS acquisitions. With the RCS Analysis software gating function, RCS data can be collected with a CW system.
