Abstract
The calculation of Radar Cross Section (RCS) of arbitrarily large perfectly conducting body is presented. The body is modelled as triangular meshes of any size by the help of graphical tools. For the calculation of scattered field, Physical Optics(PO) surface integral is analytically evaluated over each of the triangular meshes. Due to the analytical integration, there is no limitation on the size of the triangles.
