AB  - In order to analyze the scattering properties in multi-radiator problems, the 
      active radar cross section (ARCS) concept is proposed under complex 
      electromagnetic (EM) environments. The corresponding calculation methods and 
      formulation are proposed by incorporating the monostatic radar cross section 
      (RCS) concept with external disturbances. By introducing the phase 
      characteristics into the ARCS concept, the coherent problems can be accurately 
      solved. Through analyzing the external disturbance and the radar waves by 
      employing the finite element method, the coherent and the incoherent 
      characteristics of the external disturbance can be simulated in complex 
      structures. Numerical examples and an experiment are carried out to further 
      demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed ARCS concept. The results 
      demonstrate that the proposed ARCS concept obtains better universality compared 
      with the existing incoherent multi-radiator formulation. Meanwhile, the ARCS can 
      be identical with the solution which is obtained by the single radar wave. 
      Compared with the existing incoherent methods for external disturbances 
      calculations, the proposed ARCS concept is more rational. Through the experiment, 
      the effectiveness of the calculation method and formulation is further 
      demonstrated and validated.
