One
CHAFF-UNIT (CU) = 50 sq. m
|
| 500
gramme aluminium CHAFF for the
F-Band
(3 - 4 GHz) consist
of 1.37 million Chaff Dipols
|
|
G-Band
(4 -6 GHz) " 2.05 million Chaff Dipols |
|
I-Band
(8 - 10 GHz)
" 4.10 million Chaff Dipols |
|
Quantity of Chaff Dipols to simulate a specific target
|
Equation:
N = ∆RCS / 0.18 x λ2
|
|
N = Number of Dipols
needed |
|
∆
(delta)RCS
= to simulate Radar Cross Section (RCS) |
|
λ = Wavelength (9.12 cm
used in the example) |
|
Example |
deltaRCS 9.122
N = 100 / (0.18 x 0.0083266) = 66
720 Dipols
are needed to simulate a target having a RCS of 100m2.
