The measurement of radar crosssection (RCS) became very important in the 1960s, and many RCS test ranges were designed and built between 1960 and 1995. These test ranges and their procedures for testing, calibration, and usage typically were different because they reflected the visions of the scientists and engineers who designed them. In fact, performing RCS measurements is oftentimes as much of an art as it is a science. Moreover, the requisite measurement process is necessitated by the measurement facility, the target size, the frequency range, and the desired measurement fidelity. Consequently, the practices adopted by one facility are often not entirely transferrable to another. The objective of IEEE Standard 1502 is to standardize these practices as much as possible by providing a standard of practice across the RCS measurement community (test range operators, managers, data processors). To that end, this standard incorporates the common practices of experts in the field.

IEEE标准1502-2020：雷达横截面测试程序的IEEE推荐做法[立于标准上]

雷达横截面（RCS）的测量在1960年代变得非常重要，并且在1960年至1995年之间设计并建造了许多RCS测试范围。这些测试范围及其测试，校准和使用过程通常不同，因为它们反映了愿景设计它们的科学家和工程师。实际上，执行RCS测量通常既是一门科学，又是一门科学。此外，测量设备，目标尺寸，频率范围和所需的测量保真度是必需的测量过程。因此，一个机构采用的做法通常不能完全转移到另一机构。IEEE标准1502的目标是通过在整个RCS测量社区（测试范围运营商，管理者，数据处理器）中提供一种实践标准，来尽可能地标准化这些实践。为此，该标准结合了该领域专家的常规做法。
