Abstract	Several improvements to the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method for calculating the radar cross section (RCS) of a perfectly conducting target are presented. Sinusoidal and pulsed FDTD excitations are compared to determine an efficient method of finding the frequency response of targets. The maximum cell size, the minimum number of external cells, and a method to eliminate field storage in the shielded internal volume of perfect conductors to reduce the computer storage requirements of FDTD are discussed. The magnetic-field DC offset induced by surface currents on perfectly conducting objects is observed, and its effects are removed by postprocessing to achieve convergence of the RCS calculations. RCS calculations using the FDTD method in two dimensions are presented for both square and circular infinite cylinders illuminated by both transverse electric and transverse magnetic polarized plane waves. The RCS of a metal cube in three dimensions is also presented. Good agreement between FDTD calculations and theoretical values was achieved for all cases, and parameters necessary to achieve this agreement are examined.<>
