Abstract: An RCS reduction surface for reducing a radar cross section of an object is described. The RCS reduction surface comprises at least one absorber portion, wherein the absorber portion is configured to absorb radar waves. The RCS reduction surface further comprises at least one reflecting portion, wherein the reflecting portion is configured to reflect radar waves. A first plane being associated with a top surface of the absorber portion and a second plane being associated with a top surface of the reflecting portion are spaced from each other by a predefined distance. The predefined distance is configured such that radar waves with a predefined wavelength range that are reflected at the absorber portion and at the surface of the reflecting portion interfere destructively with each other. Further, an RCS reduction member and a radar test system are described.

Abstract: A radar target simulator front end, configured to simulate at least one radar target for testing a radar device under test is provided. The radar target simulator front end comprises at least two antenna units, arranged along a first angle under investigation. The at least two antenna units are configured to be selectively activated and deactivated. Whereby each antenna unit of the at least two antenna units generates a simulated radar target along the first angle under investigation, when activated.

Abstract: An aqueous of pre-crosslinked organopolysiloxanes and process for producing the same. The aqueous dispersion is preferably aqueous emulsion, including pre-crosslinked organopolysiloxanes which contains on average at least one structural unit of the general formula SiRO2/2—Y—SiRO2/2 and units of the formula R2SiO2/2. Where Y is a radical of the formula —R2—[NR3—R4—]x—NR3—OC—[C(Z1)(H)]k1—[C(Z2)(H)]k2—CO—NR3—[R4—NR]x—R2 and where R, R2, R3, R4, k1, k2, x, Z1 and Z2 have a definition a set forth within herein. Additionally, the sum of k1+k2 is ?1, the that at least one radical Z1 or Z2 is a hydroxyl or NHR3 group, preferably a hydroxyl group, and so the bridging group Y contains at least one hydroxyl or NHR3 group, preferably at least one hydroxyl group.

Abstract: Method of and apparatus for continuous non-destructive testing of bar-shaped specimens formed of iron-containing material of specific quality characteristics, where the bar-shaped specimens, such as pipes, move on a roll table (2) along an elongated path through two testing blocks (8, 9) spaced apart along the path. The testing blocks (8, 9) are mechanically decoupled from one another and are logically linked to an electronic testing installation (10). As a specimen moves through a first testing block (8) a signal is developed indicating the presence or absence of flaws and their location in the specimen. The location is referred to the length of the specimens. The testing blocks (8, 9) are located between a supply station (1) and a sorting station (3) with the roll table (2) extending between the two stations. Based on the signals generated, the specimens are sorted in the sorting station between an accepted tray (4) and a number of rejected trays (5, 6, 7) for reworkable or scrap specimens.
