Abstract: Light wave model measurement microwave system at big scale factor on inequality electrical length conditions was proposed. The analysis idea of such model measurement was put forward. The feasibility of simulating electromagnetic scattering at microwave band using optic wave was discussed from the angle of physical similitude and technological feasibility. Then according to this idea, the similitude relationship and conditions in the application such as RCS measurement and multipath effect measurement were analyzed in detail on inequality electrical length conditions model measurement. The research result offers a new research approach in the field of large scale electromagnetic system simulation.

Key words: microwave, light wave, inequality electrical length, model measurement
