摘要
In this paper, we present a fast method to predict the monostatic Radar Cross Section (RCS) in high-frequency of a cavity, which can be modeled as a succession of bent waveguides of the same cross section and studied by a perfectly-conducting termination. Based on a modal analysis combined with the Kirchho. Approximation, this method allows us to obtain closed-form expressions of the transmission matrix at each discontinuity. In addition, to improve the efficiency, a selective modal scheme is proposed, which selects only the propagating modes contributing to the scattering. Compared to the Iterated Physical Optics (IPO) method and the Multi-Level Fast Multipole Method (MLFMM, generated from the commercial software FEKO), this approach brings good results for cavities with small tilt angles of the bends, typically smaller than 2 degrees.
