This paper presents a study on the simulation of the radar backscatter signal from a helicopter in which the helicopter rotors, the helicopter rotor hub and helicopter body are modelled by an ensemble of straight wires, rods and rectangular plates in various orientations. Despite the simplicity of exact solutions used here, which give a signi cant advantage of very low computational cost, very good agreement with real data can be achieved.
