Compressive Sensing (CS) is a novel signal-processing paradigm that allows sampling of sparse or compressible signals at lower than Nyquist rate. The past decade has seen substantial research on imaging applications using compressive sensing. In this thesis, CS is combined with the commercial electromagnetic (EM) simulation software newFASANT to improve its efficiency in solving EM scattering problems such as Radar Cross Section (RCS) of complex targets at GHz frequencies. This thesis proposes a CS-RCS approach that allows efficient and accurate recovery of under-sampled RCSs measured from a random set of incident angles using an accelerated iterative soft thresh-holding reconstruction algorithm. The RCS results of a generic missile and a Canadian KingAir aircraft model simulated using Physical Optics (PO) as the EM solver at various frequencies and angular resolutions demonstrate good efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.
