MATLAB Function Ðrcs_cylinder.mÑ

The function Ðrcs_cylinder.mÑ computes and plots the backscattered RCS of
a cylinder. The syntax is as follows:

[rcs] = rcs_cylinder(r1, r2, h, freq, phi, CylinderType)

where

Symbol Description Units Status

r1 radius r1 meters input

r2 radius r2 meters input

h length of cylinder meters input

freq frequency Hz input

phi roll viewing angle degrees input

CylinderType none input

r 1 = r 2 ÒCircular,Ó i.e.,

r 1 ≠ r 2

ÒElliptic,Ó i.e.,

rcs array of RCS versus aspect angle dBsm output
