Electromagnetic Scattering and RCS Analysis of a 3D BoR Reference Object

A low RCS 3D BoR reference platform is presented for analysis of conformal antennas. The proposed platform is created by rotating a plane section that is made by intersecting two parabolic curves. Multiple EM computational methods are employed to analyze and ascertain the RCS of the 3D BoR reference platform. When illuminated with a vertically and horizontally polarized plane wave, the 3D BoR platform exhibits very low RCS in the azimuthal plane, with a maximum value of - 34.23 dBm
²
and -21.39 dBm
²
respectively.
