A method for determining characteristics of a Radar Cross Section (RCS) test range may include vertically orienting a field probe 120 including an elongated rigid body 122 at a predetermined location within the RCS test range. The method may also include generating incident radar waves at a selected frequency and polarization and pivoting the field probe in a vertical direction broadside to the incident radar waves. The method may additionally include receiving return radar data scattered by the field probe during pivoting of the field probe. The method may further include determining a field distribution along the elongated rigid body of the field probe from the return radar data to determine characteristics of the RCS test range. The rigid body is rotated by lengthening or shortening ropes 130, 132, 134, 136 which are attached to the lower end of the body 126 and various points on the ceiling 138 of the test range. |
