Conical cut radar cross section calculations for a thin, perfectly conducting plate

Radar Cross Section (RCS) calculations for flat, perfectly conducting plates are readily available through the use of conventional frequency domain techniques such as the Method of Moments. However, if time domain scattering or wideband frequency domain results are desired, then the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) technique is a suitable choice. In this paper, we present the application of the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) technique to the problem of electromagnetic scattering and RCS calculations from a thin, perfectly conducting plate for a conical cut in the scattering angle phi. RCS calculations versus angle phi will be presented and discussed

Time domain scattering and radar cross section calculations for a thin, coated perfectly conducting plate

Radar cross section (RCS) calculations for flat, perfectly conducting plates are readily available through the use of conventional frequency domain techniques such as the Method of Moments (MOM). However, if the plate is covered with a dielectric material that is relatively thick in comparison with the wavelength in the material, these frequency domain techniques become increasingly difficult to apply. We present the application of the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) Technique to the problem of electromagnetic scattering and RCS calculations from a thin, perfectly conducting plate that is coated with a thick layer of lossless dielectric material. Both time domain and RCS calculations are presented and disclosed

A Bookmaker or Market Type Test for Specification in Discrete Choice Models

This paper suggests that the predicted probabilities of outcomes given by an estimated discrete choice model by thought of as prices (or bookmaker odds) associated with those outcomes. By buying or selling contracts (gambling) at those prices (odds) it should not be possible to, on average, make a profit if the model is well specified and is generating “correct” prices. This notion then forms the basis of a model specification test
