Asymptotic high frequency computation of the RCS of a cone-sphere at an arbitrary angle of incidence

It is shown that the physical optics approximation, enhanced by correction terms, makes it possible to compute the RCS (radar cross section) of the cone-sphere for arbitrary angle of incidence. The validity of the method is established by comparing it with a numerically rigorous method of moments so...

Description
Summary:It is shown that the physical optics approximation, enhanced by correction terms, makes it possible to compute the RCS (radar cross section) of the cone-sphere for arbitrary angle of incidence. The validity of the method is established by comparing it with a numerically rigorous method of moments solution.< >
