A screw-like target, found in open literature, was utilized as it produced relatively high co- and cross-polarized radar cross section (RCS) returns. In this study the required elevation alignment accuracy of the receiver, relative to the transmitter-target plane, to produce good calibration results was also investigated. The target was slightly modified to possibly improve the elevation beam-width and peak RCS.AbstractenPassive calibration targetRadar cross sectionRCSFull-Polarimetric Calibration TargetConference Presentationn/a
