Radar cross section reduction by absorber coveringRadar cross section (RCS) reduction by absorber covering is experimentally studied by employing microwave diversity imaging. Experimental results show that broadband absorber covering is not effective at reducing the co-polarized (the transmitting and receiving antennas have opposite sense of circular polarization) RCS of a plate when the incident wave approximates the edge-on direction but is effective at reducing the cross-polarized (both the transmitting and receiving antennas have the same sense of circular polarization) RCS for all incident directions. The surface current absorber covering is effective at reducing the nonspecular energy and multiple bounces regardless of the polarization status of the measurement.
