Scaling
of Observables
Many
experiments and tests can be performed with subscale objects,
resulting in orders of magnitude savings in funds and time. The connection of the results of subscale
tests with full scale tests is called scaling. Anacapa Associates has developed a
large number of scaling laws and rules, applicable to radar and optical
measurements both in free space and during reentry of hypersonic objects: Maxwell equations scaling Static radar cross-section scaling Infrared observables scaling Electron density scaling Plasma radar cross-section scaling
