N2 - The scattering properties of the trihedral corner reflector was analyzed, and its application plans in monostatic radar cross section (RCS) calibration test and transmit-receive separate monostatic RCS calibration test were proposed based on the analysis. The main lobe of the backscattering pattern of the trihedral corner reflector is broad and flat, and it has strong aspect stability, so it is suitable to the monostatic calibration test for the targets with large RCS. But in the transmit-receive separate monostatic RCS calibration test system, due to the small bi-static angle between the transmitter feed and the receiver feed, the main lobe of the backscattering pattern of the trihedral corner reflector sharply drops and presents strong ripple, so it could not be used to calibration test in this situation. Nevertheless, one side lobe of the backscattering pattern almost no changes when the small bi-static angle is existent, and it also has strong aspect stability, so it could be used as the calibration reference point in the transmit-receive separate monostatic RCS calibration test.
