Abstract

Based on the fringe current components formula of the equivalent edge currents (EEC), a scattering center model for diffracted waves by edges is presented in this paper. This model can describe the diffracted fields by the edges under arbitrary observing direction and polarizations. Furthermore, the parameters of this model are directly related with the geometry of edges, therefore estimating process can be simplified when the geometry of target is known aforehand. Two examples are presented in this paper to validate this model, including a PEC plate and a side wing of an unmanned aerial vehicle. Radar Cross Sections (RCSs) and Time-Frequency Representations (TFRs) of the targets simulated results by this model are compared with those computed by the well-validated full-wave numerical method (FE-BI-MLFMA) and those simulated by the commonly used attributed scattering model. The results demonstrated that this scattering center model is simple in expression and of high precision.
