Is there any way to change the rcs Signature of Boeing737 aircraft to some other aerial vehicle?

11 views (last 30 days)
I am trying to replicate the results from [this example][1]:
I want to change the target RCS from Boeing737 to an Unmanned Aerial vehicle i.e. DJI matrice 300 (or any similar drones).
I explored the documentation of [rcsSignature][2] and learnt that I need specific values for Azimuth, Elevation and frequency of the UAV. So two questions arise here:
(1) How do I create an rcsSignature?
(2) Is there any resource where I can find Azimuth, Elevation and frequency data of the UAV?
Thank you very much.

Hi Harsh,
To create an rcsSignature, you can use the 'rcssignature' function in MATLAB. This function takes in the radar cross section (RCS) values for different azimuth and elevation angles and returns an rcsSignature object. The 'rcsSignature' object in MATLAB can be used to represent the angle-dependent and frequency-dependent radar cross-section pattern of a target. The radar cross-section determines the intensity of reflected radar signal power from the target.
To know more about the use of 'rcssignature' function in MATLAB, you can refer to its documentation here: https://in.mathworks.com/help/fusion/ref/rcssignature.html
For finding the Azimuth, Elevation, and frequency data of the UAV, you may need to consult the UAV's specifications. It should be able to provide you with the necessary information.
Hope this helps!
