Radar cross section (RCS) for elliptical plane wave incidence

  Hello
  
  I want to find out the RCS of an object for elliptically polarized plane wave incidence in HFSS. Is this possible?
  
  When I select the elliptical polarization for plane wave, the RCS does not show up in the far-field results options.
  
  Thanks

  Hi Fahad,
  
  RCS is an option when you set up Plane Wave excitations (either using Cartesian or Spherical setup) in HFSS.
  
  I'm not sure how you "selected elliptical polarization for plane wave" - perhaps if you elaborate on that point, we might realize why RCS post-processing options are not appearing for you.
  
  Thanks!
