Radar cross section (RCS) or echo area or effective area is the measure of target’s ability to reflect radar signals in the direction of the radar receiver i.e. it is the measure of the ratio of the backscattered power per steradian in the direction of the radar to the power density that is intercepted by the target [1]. RCS is a measure of how detectable an object is with the radar. The IEEE dictionary of electrical and electronics terms[1]defines RCS as a measure of reflective strength of a target defined as 4π times the ratio of the power per unit solid angle scattered in a specified direction to the power per unit area in a plane wave incident on the scatterer from a specified direction. Radar cross section σ may be mathematically written …show more content…
Radar cross section is a far field quantity and the illuminated and scattered waves can be taken as plane waves with complex amplitudes Einc and Escat . It is dependent on the direction of arrival of the incident wave and the direction of observation of the scattered wave and is known as bistatic cross section. When those two directions are coincident, it is known as the monostatic cross section. A schematic diagram of a typical far field arrangement for making RCS measurements is shown in the Fig. …show more content…
However, this reflected power also dissipates and spreads out as it echoes back to the radar receiver. Since the power density has already been reduced by a factor of 1/R2 by the time it reaches the target and is again reduced by 1/R2 on the return trip, the final power density of the energy received by the radar is proportional to 1/R4. The ability of radar to detect the target depends on whether the amount of power returned is large enough to be differentiated from internal noise, ground clutter, background radiation and other sources of interference. The graph shown in Fig. 2.3 gives an idea about how little radar power is reflected back from the target and received by the radar. In this case, the target presents the same aspect to the radar at ranges from 1 to 50 miles. At a range of 50 miles, the relative power received by the radar is only 1.6 ×〖10〗^(-5)% of the strength at one mile. This diagram graphically illustrates how significant the effect of energy dissipation is with distance and how sensitive radars must be to detect targets at even short ranges

Unit D Summary: Light and Geometric Optics 10.1 : Light and The Electromagnetic Spectrum Chapter 10.1 covers light and the electromagnetic spectrum. This chapter starts off by describing how light is a form of energy that travels in waves. The properties of said waves include a crest (the highest point of the wave), the trough (the lowest point of the wave), and the rest position (the level of a wave without energy).
Write 9-4x^2-x+2x^4 in standard form You first look at all the the numbers in the polynomial and see which coefficient has the highest number exponent. (the degree) which is 2x^4. Then you keeping descending down so -4x^2 would be next. Then you look at the numbers and variables in the problem, all you have left is 9 and -x you always put the variable first so it would be -x, then 9. So your answer would be
Windows operating system is generally very stable but there are a few errors and bugs that keep appearing from time to time. We mostly use USB devices these days and therefore most errors now are also associated with USB ports and devices. The Code 43 in the Device Manager appears when the operating system identifies problems associated with a device and closes it for use in the operating system. This problem can appear on a variety of Windows platforms such as Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 as well as on Windows Server.
1. While most believe that the assassination of the Arch-Duke Francis Ferdinand was the sole event that caused the out break of World War I, there were many other underlying events that created the trouble between the major European powers. (section 25-1, Spielvogel). One of the major underlying causes was nationalism. While most thought that every nationality having their own nation-state would help people get along it did nothing but cause even more competition.
Part I Which of the concepts in these chapters was the most difficult for you? In 5-7 sentences, explain what you think you understand and ask 2-3 questions about things you know you don 't understand. Standard error of the mean I read the section on standard error of the mean (SEM) three times and unfortunately, this concept is difficult for me to understand. I do understand that the standard error of the mean is the standard deviation of a sampling distribution of means. I understand how to calculate the SEM (simply divide the standard deviation of the sample by the square root of the sample size minus one).
As mentioned in Napoleons’ Button (Couteur and Burreson, 2003), ever since the discovery of penicillin, wound infection declines, saving plenty of lives, especially during the World War 2. The rapid advancement of drugs has indeed come a long way and even revolutionized the world. Drugs such as paracetemol helps to subside one’s fever and provide pain relief. On the other hand, drugs that are widely used illegally such as cocaine would be detrimental to one’s personal health when consumed. In any case, the mere existence of drugs is good in nature.
5. Public trials and executions serve as a deterance of deviant behaviors. These sanctions act as a way to set an example and for people to see what will happen to them if they do the same thing, These sanctions can also be seen as reinforcing boundaries. Although public executions and trials in “town square” are not as common in most countries today, the media is utilized to fulfil the same purpose. When there are high profile cases going on in the United States often tmes the full trial and sentancings are televised so that much of society can see what the repercussions are for defying a social norm.

Secondary Source Analysis In order to create his ideal Native American standing within the American Government, which includes the non-indigenous portion of the world acknowledging and understanding Native American issues with the United States and Internationally, Walter R. Echo-Hawk, in his A Context for Understanding Native American Issues, delves into the United State’s past Indian affairs as well as his goals for achieving this ideal. It is important to consider the author’s attitude towards the topic, his desired audience and the devices he used when analyzing the strength of his arguments. Echo-Hawk brings up the point, during the beginning of chapter two, that the general public is unaware of much of the happenings between the United
Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is not only illegal, it is extremely dangerous. You are putting yourself and innocent people on the road at risk when you engage in such behaviors. You can cause the death or serious injury of other people who were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. This is why the police are always on the watch for people who appear to be driving under the influence. Their goal is to get them off the roads before such accidents can happen.
Although several attacks were made against some of the batteries, they were not successful in defeating the HAWK system. The unit tested the HAWK system on its capabilities to detect, acquire or track helicopters. The Pulse Acquisition Radar was one of the few components used during the test. The system became popular because of the ability to track helicopters within one to two kilometers of true target position, making it a possible tool for the Air Force in Combat. Later on, the 97th Artillery Group with the contribution of 7th Air Force conducted an intercept test, which was successful.
Eight of twelve-thousand houses were all that remained standing after the Clydebank Blitz in Scotland on March 13th and 14th 1941, every other house affected by the blitz either had minor damages, was severely damaged, or completely destroyed. When a person thinks about countries affected and involved in World War II they mainly think of the major countries that were involved in the war like the United States, England, and Japan just to name a few. No one ever talks about Scotland during that time period, because it is not a big country, but Scottish people were greatly affected by World War II. The people lived with the fear the Germans would drop bombs on them. They were forced to live on rationed food and deal with constant food storages of food because every essential material was being used for the war.
Given the risk considerations provided in the RCD tool and the Portfolio Theory, the next step should be understanding the available risk/return metrics and determining an optimal mix of assets. Risk Metrics and Advantage/Disadvantages There are two risk metrics used in the model, Conditional Tail Expectation (CTE) and Value at Risk (VaR). These two metrics both look at the tail of the distribution. VaR is a measure of particularly poor outcomes in a stochastic projection. Its major shortcoming is its lack of statistical coherency.
