On the basis of a method of electrodynamics similarity in compact antenna range the radar crosssection
of models of metal ground objects used as reference points during operation SAR of space basing
are measured. Dependence RCS on a kind of polarization of a probing signal, corners of sliding and an
azimuth of a location is investigated. It is shown, that, objects which models are investigated, can be used
for flight calibration of equipment SAR.
