Abstract
This paper presents an original method for correcting cylindrical near -field effects of RCS measurements in an anechoic chamber when the siz e of the target is large compared with the wavelength and measurements range. Cylindrical near-field effects are representative of responses from long-aspect target such as missiles. The correction method is ba sed on the application of the Huygens-Fresnel principle to monostatic radar.
