A closed-form model of multiphoton quantum radar cross-section (QRCS) in the monostatic scenes is constructed for rectangular flat plates based on interference and uncertainty. The justified by comprehensive analysis parameters building process. Then, we use to quantitatively analyze main lobe enhancement effect QRCS, which means that more incident photons will enhance magnitude QRCS with other factors being same. Moreover, predict effects might also exist side close lobe. In addition, present specific conditions enhancement. On this basis, angle range defined unify description effects. influencing are clarified. results exhibit fluctuates change target size wavelength. All exponentially related photon number. This work brings into stage, provide prior information research many fields, such as photonic technology, precision metrology.
