Application of composite hermitian operator eigenfunctions on analysis of RCS

The technique to integrate the composite hermitian operator eigenfunctions (CHOEs) with the general asymptotic waveform evaluation (GAWE) is proposed for computing the radar cross section (RCS) of a perfect electric conductor (PEC). In the analysis, the orthogonal and complete properties of the CHOEs are used to construct the solution space of a matrix equation. Hence, the solution of the equation can be obtained by combining the based-vectors of the solution space with a set of coefficients, which can be determined by the GAWE technique at a given frequency. The results of numerical examples prove that the novel technique is effective in computing RCS.
