Abstract
Research was conducted to determine the scattering pr pertie of a rapidly moving vehicle in the presence of a perturbed ionized environment by investigating the change in radar echo area caused by the presence of a plasma sheath. Approximate methods based on physical concepts were evolved for determining the echo area of conducting pheres surrounded by concentric dielectric shells. The approximate echo areas were in good agreement with exactly co puted results, however several discrepancies di occur. The exact bistatic echo areas of conducting spheres are being computed for use in determining approximate methods for computing the bistatic echo area of spherical configurations. Computations of the echo area of concentric circular cylinders of infinite length are expected to further demonstrate the validity of the approximations. Methods of solution are described for the near end-fire echo area of long-t in bodies with a dielectric shell.
