A DBD plasma system generates heat due to the high bias voltage required for plasma generation. The thermal-induced structural deformation of the DBD structure caused by this high voltage and its impact on RCS measurements are analyzed. In addition, techniques for minimizing the thermal-induced deformation and compensation methods for addressing the minimized deformation are proposed. Furthermore, RCS measurements are conducted on two kinds of DBD structures using the proposed method to experimentally demonstrate the improved agreement between the simulation and measurement results. For both structures, the RCS experimental results are in very good agreement with the simulation results, which enables accurate plasma characterization. In conclusion, it can be expected that the proposed method can be used to provide more accurate RCS measurements on various DBD structures that generate high heat.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23167121","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,11]],"date-time":"2023-08-11T12:10:23Z","timestamp":1691755823000},"page":"7121","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Compensation of Heat Effect in Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) Plasma System for Radar Cross-Section (RCS) Reduction"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Jinwoo","family":"Jung","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Yonsei University, Seoul 03722, Republic of Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9616-8072","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Changseok","family":"Cho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Yonsei University, Seoul 03722, Republic of Korea"}]},{"given":"Minsu","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, Chungnam National University, Daejeon 34134, Republic of Korea"}]},{"given":"Shinjae","family":"You","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, Chungnam National University, Daejeon 34134, Republic of Korea"}]},{"given":"Jungje","family":"Ha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agency for Defense Development, Daejeon 34186, Republic of Korea"}]},{"given":"Hyunsoo","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agency for Defense Development, Daejeon 34186, Republic of Korea"}]},{"given":"Cheonyoung","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Agency for Defense Development, Daejeon 34186, Republic of Korea"}]},{"given":"Ilyoung","family":"Oh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information and Electronic Engineering, Dongyang Mirae University, Seoul 08221, Republic of Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2623-3569","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yongshik","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Yonsei University, Seoul 03722, Republic of Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Knott, E.F., Schaeffer, J.F., and Tulley, M.T.
