Changes

At the end of a Wire MoM simulation, the thee RCS plots σ_θ, σ_φ, and σ_totare added under the far field section of the Navigation Tree. These plots are very similar to the three 3-D radiation pattern plots. You can view them by clicking on their names in the navigation tree. The RCS values are expressed in m². For visualization purposes, the 3-D plots are normalized to the maximum RCS value, which is also displayed in the legend box. The 2-D RCS graphs can be plotted from EM.CUBE's data manager exactly in the same way that you plot 2-D radiation pattern graphs. A total of eight 2-D RCS graphs are available: 4 polar and 4 Cartesian graphs for the XY, YZ, ZX and user defined plane cuts. At the end of a sweep simulation, EM.CUBE calculates some other quantities including the backscatter RCS (BRCS), forward-scatter RCS (FRCS) and the maximum RCS (MRCS) as functions of the sweep variable (frequency, angle, or any user defined variable). In this case, the RCS needs to be computed at a fixed pair of phi and theta angles. These angles are specified in degrees as '''User Defined Azimuth & Elevation''' in the "Output Settings" section of the '''Radar Cross Section Dialog'''. The default values of the user defined azimuth and elevation are both zero corresponding to the zenith.
