Radar cross-section is a measure of how detectable an object is by radar. Therefore, it is called electromagnetic signature of the object. A larger RCS indicates that an object is more easily detected. An object reflects a limited amount of radar energy back to the source.
How do you find the cross section of a radar?
Radar cross section is the ratio of backscatter power to the power density received by the target.

Factors on which Radar Cross Section depends
- Frequency of the radar signal.
- Distance between the target and the radar.
- Material of the target.
- The aspect and the orientation of the target to the radar source.
What is the formula for radar?
Standard Form of Radar Range Equation
We will get the following equation, by substituting R=RMax and Pr=Smin in Equation 6. Equation 7 represents the standard form of Radar range equation.
