Abstract:

High-frequency scattering by a perfectly conducting N-noded pyramid is investigated. The principally polarized radar cross section is derived by integrating the fields scattered from a wedge around the base termination and, also, the longitudinal edges. The theoretical results are compared with measurements and shown to be in reasonable agreement.
