 RCS Measurements

       METRATEK's two high-performance wide band coherent radars are highly portable and support an average of three measurement programs per year. We provide a wide variety of radar measurement services. These include diagnostic imaging, calibrated radar cross section measurements, and radar phenomenology measurements, including:

  • Ground-to-Ground Measurement of Aircraft and Vehicles
    • ground-bounce and direct measurements
    • indoor or outdoor measurements
    • TRACKSAR, TRUCKSAR, and ISAR imaging diagnostics
  • Surface to Surface Ship Measurements
    • SAR and ISAR imaging
    • look-down and ship-to-ship measurements
  • Air-to-Air and Air-to-Ground measurements
    • AIRSAR and SAR imaging 0.2 - 18 GHz
  • Target characterization for Non-cooperative Target Recognition schemes
  • Oceanographic Radar Data
    • Airborne SAR and INSAR 0.2-18 GHz
    • INSAR and Real-Aperture measurement of Internal Waves
    • Shore-and-ship based real aperture sea clutter
    • frequency-agile pulsed Doppler, pulse compression, and Pulsed Delta-K waveforms
  • Land and Surface Clutter characterization
    • Airborne SAR and INSAR 0.2-18 GHz
    • frequency-agile pulsed Doppler, pulse compression, and Pulsed Delta-K waveforms
    • Angel clutter measurement and diagnosis
  • Performance Characterization and Emulation of Threat Radar and Seeker Systems
  • Threat ECM Characterization and Emulation

      This B-52 image was taken with the Model 200 radar and a 45-foot track at Edwards Air Force Base. It covers 200 x 200 feet with better than 6-inch resolution. Much of the detail is lost in shrinking this  image to fit on the page - the actual image is  almost 3 feet square.
