Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In this paper, we discuss the near-field to far-field transformation (NFFFT) theory for radar cross-section (RCS) of an electrically large object, that is a comprehensive review of the author's published articles over the past 10 years. When an electrical size of the object under test is large such as airplane, the probe antenna that measures scattered waves from the object has to be placed sufficiently far from the object in order to illuminate plane wave that is the measurement premise. Assuming a measurement frequency is f and a maximum size of the object is D, this distance R is generally evaluated by R>2D^2/λ(fλ=c, where λ: wavelength, c: speed of light). For example, when D=3m and f=10GHz, R=600m is an unrealistic condition. Therefore, it is conceivable to acquire scattered field near the object by some method and theoretically transform it into a far-region. As our approach, if a radar image based on scattered waves from the object is obtained, it is considered that a far-field generated by source can be evaluated by regarding the image as a secondary wave source. Based on this concept, the relationship between radar image and three-dimensional RCS can be derived. The theoretical validity is proved through the numerical calculations and the comparative examination using actual measurement data. Above all, It was found as interesting result that the unnecessary waves can be suppressed by properly processing the images containing the unnecessary waves. Through this confirmation, it is proved the equivalence of the time-axis processing such as the fast Fourier transform (FFT) and this spatial-axis processing in the image data.
