Abstract
In order to estimate chaff RCS, we suggest here a novel method using the probability distribution. Normally, a chaff is assumed that it is a thin dipole antenna and the RCS can be calculated by the scattering wave theory. Most of the theoretical methods presented were mainly focusing on a single chaff cloud. In this paper, the RCS calculation was done for two or more chaff clouds and the changes of RCS with azimuth angle were observed. Matlab was used for presenting the probability distribution of chaff clouds and RCS calculation. A more accurate RCS estimation method is suggested by estimating the number of chaffs except the blocked elements.
