Prediction, reduction and measurement of electromagnetic scattering from complex three-dimensional targets are the primary emphases of this text, developed by the author from courses taught at the Naval Postgraduate School. The analysis methods discussed focus on physical optics and numerical solutions to Maxwell's equations (the method of moments and finite-difference solutions) as they apply to radar cross-section (RCS). Numerous examples have been included to illustrate the application of important methods and concepts. Written as an instructional text, this book is recommended for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students. Also a good reference book for engineers in the industry.

ContentsRadar cross section; basic theorems, concepts and methods; numerical methods in the frequency domain; numerical methods in the time domain; microwave optics; complex targets; radar cross-section reduction; measurement of RCS; laser cross-section; appendices.
