Figure 3 the Spectral Response of the sphere with 4Meters diameter - 300 MHz to 40 GHz Analyzing this plot reveals the variation in the Radar Cross Section (RCS) of the sphere across different radar wavelengths. Peaks or dips in the plot indicate wavelengths where the sphere reflects radar waves particularly strongly or weakly. This insight is vital for comprehending the sphere’s interaction with radar waves across the electromagnetic spectrum, aiding in the design and optimization of stealth technology to reduce radar detection. It is important to note that the sphere used in this example is a simplified model meant to illustrate the concept.

Below, we plot the Radar Cross Section (RCS) of a simple sphere for comparison. The first plot shows the RCS of a sphere with a diameter of four meters across frequencies ranging from 300MHz to 40GHz. The second plot depicts the same sphere in Low Earth Orbit (LEO).

The plot shows how the RCS of the sphere varies with different radar wavelengths at various altitudes. Peaks or dips in the plot indicate wavelengths at which the sphere exhibits particularly strong or weak radar reflection.
