Radar Cross Section Reduction (RCSR) Fundamentals Short Course

Course Description

The Radar Cross Section Reduction (RCSR) Fundamentals course provides an overview of electromagnetic (EM) scattering and how scattering can be controlled or modified to achieve radar cross section reduction. You’ll learn the basics of scattering and RCS, including measurements and modeling; how to use shaping to control scattering; and special considerations for antennas.
