description This communication presents an accurate and computationally efficient approach for wideband radar cross-section (RCS) estimation and scattering point reconstruction using infinitesimal dipole modeling (IDM) with compressive sensing. The proposed method eliminates the need for field sampling at numerous frequency points across the wideband range through Green’s function adjustment. Additionally, compressive sensing is employed for induced current calculation to reduce both frequency and angular sampling requirements. Numerical validation demonstrates that the method achieves a 50% reduction in field sample data and an 82.3% reduction in IDM processing time while maintaining comparable accuracy through Green’s function adjustment. Furthermore, compared to approaches without compressive sensing, the method shows a 55.1% and a 75.5% reduction in error in averaged RCS for VV-pol and HH-pol, respectively. The proposed method facilitates efficient wideband RCS estimation of various targets while significantly reducing measurement complexity and computational cost.
