Abstract

An antenna with reduced radar cross section is the most applicable one for military and stealth technology to reduce the radar cross section of sensitive targets, thus makes invisible to the enemy radar. Radar cross section reduction plays a main role in the defense industry. In this paper, the operating frequency and RCS reduction are compared with different wide band antenna. A planar octagonal shaped UWB antenna reduces the radar cross section for the whole operational bandwidth and found best for radar applications with 10dB RCS reduction at the whole operational bandwidth, 25dB RCS reduction especially at low frequencies with good antenna performance.

Keywords
