Radar Reflectivity Laboratory

China Lake, CA

The RRL has three indoor anechoic chambers designed for both near- and far-field monostatic and vertical- and horizontal-plane bistatic RCS measurements at frequencies from VHF to millimeter waves. RCS measurements are accomplished by irradiating targets with a high-speed, wide-band radar while rotating the target in azimuth at various roll and pitch orientations. This approach yields RCS data for all desired angles for all frequencies within the operating range of the radar. The indoor environment provides secure, low-cost, precision, weather-independent measurements 24 hours a day.
