  • Low RCS test mounts
    Patent number: 5721553
    Abstract: Novel test mounts are defined for a radar cross section testing apparatus that allows a supported object to be tested without interference from the test mount. This includes prescribing a diameter of about 0.61 wavelengths for a cylindrical test mount; maintaining a ratio for the test mount's characteristic dielectric constant and magnetic permeability of about one; and/or installing a frequency transposing apparatus to convert the frequency of radar pulses directed toward the test mount to off-frequency echoes.
