RCS measurements for vehicles and pedestrian at 26 and 79GHz

The RCS of a radar target is an important factor related with the radar performance such as the detection, tracking and classification. When dealing with the design of radar system for 26/79GHz short/middle-range radars allocated for next generation perimeter surveillance radars, it is essential to know individual RCS of typical vehicles and pedestrian. However, there are few or no reports related to the RCS measurement at the band of 26GHz and 79GHz. In this paper, the RCS measurement of vehicles and pedestrian was performed in a large-scale anechoic chamber and the measured RCS characteristics are discussed comparing the 26GHz and 79GHz band.
